<p>MALE
State: UT (no, im not mormon! Will being from this state help my chances?) </p>
<p>GPA: 3.87 UW
Class Rank: 6/21.... Please allow me to explain. First, at my competitive school, what separates me from the val. is literally a tenth of a point. I know that a 3.97 is still higher than a .87 but that gives you some context for the other 4 people. I have had the most rigorous course load of my class, have the most EC's, have the highest test scores of my class, and would easily be ranked top 5% at the public school near my own. My GC told me that all this will be explained when she sends the school profile and rec... ok moving on. </p>
<p>ACT w/writing: 33
SAT II: Taking in October but we can safely assume ~720 Lit and ~770 Math II </p>
<p>AP's: Bio (3, not submitting. I was the only one in my class to take Ap bio) Lit (4) taking Calc, lang, and gov (self study) this year. My school doesnt offer very many AP's :/ but ive taken all the ones i could. </p>
