<p>Dear mulls23 : Yours is among the first of the applications that is pushing the 2200 mark on the three-way SAT. Your AP curriculum looks solid including AP/Euro which many students will take during their sophomore high school year as opposed to senior year depending on the high school program. Given that most schools have a 4.0 GPA system, a 4.07 unweighted score has no context - what is the maximal score?</p>

<p>Sports at the varsity level are present along with your honor societies. Peer leader/mediator is one area that stands out as you do not see this as often on applications as one might expect. Not exactly sure that your essay topic was a differentiator, but you might not need the essays as a tipping point. If you are not part of the early action pool, you certainly fit with the regular decision pool. Expect an acceptance from one or the other.</p>

<p>our GPA's are out of the 4.5 scale, don't ask me why, but it is unweighted.</p>

<p>also AP Euro is a senior level course at my school.</p>

<p>but thank you for your response. i'm really nervous :(</p>
