<p>stats:</p>
<p>HS graduation year: 2011
Ok, so here's the thing about my gpa. my counselor said that it's 3.5 unweighted and 3.8 weighted. But i was offered a scholarship to a local university & the minimum unweighted gpa requirement to get that scholarship is 3.8. so i'm not sure if the school just calculated it differently or what.. but just to keep a little leeway in my chances, let's say my unweighted GPA is 3.5 and weighted is 3.8
SAT Composite: 1940 (math + cr: 1320. i'll take the ACT this september & i'll re-take the SAT this october)
Took all AP & honors classes offered at my school. i also took a class at a local university for college credit.</p>
