Wow. That’s a lot of APs. Congrats. Your SAT scores are a bit on the low side. However keep in mind that all of your grades will be viewed in context. ECs look good.

Good luck

The EC’s related to Taekwondo are quite impressive…very nice!

@sgopal2 @Lift35 Do you think my GPA would hold me back at Trinity? Even though I am in the top 10% of my class, it is just because my school tends to have grade deflation.

Everything will be considered in the context of your school. If it is a rather competitive high school, admissions will take it into consideration regarding your GPA as well as the course rigor.

No I don’t think the GPA will hold you back. They understand that some schools are more rigorous than others. However your SAT score might raise some concern, esp the verbal and writing scores.
