<p>GPA: 3.87UW/4.16W
Rank: School doesn’t rank, but at least top 10%</p>
<p>PSAT: 207 (commended)
SAT I: 2200 (760CR, 640M, 800W - best sitting)
2260 (760CR, 700M, 800W - best composite)

<p>By the end of high school, I’ll have taken AP US, AP Chem, AP Lit, AP Physics, and AP Calc AB. Also AP Japanese (if it’s offered). This is about as tough as my schedule can get, since my school doesnt have APs until junior year and there are relatively few history/language APs offered here. And Im obviously not a math/science person. 
I hope this wont be held too much against me in the admissions process.</p>

<p>Second semester of junior year, I came down with a condition called Bells Palsy paralysis of one side of the face. Its usually temporary, and although recovery takes 3 weeks for most people, Ive had it for almost 4 months and only now am I seeing some change.This is an uncommon disease that strikes 1 in 5000. My grades have dropped a little as a result of this. By a little I mean most likely getting a B in PreCalc H and a C+ in Chem AP.</p>
<p>I want to double major in linguistics/ancient studies or classics.</p>
<p>So! What are my chances ED at CAS? What should I do to have the best shot of getting in?</p>
