<p>I'm currently a junior but I was wondering if I am on track to be accepted to Scripps?</p>

<p>I am from Boston, MA.</p>

<p>School:
-I have a weighted 96 GPA (Out of a possible 120, highest in my class is a 117)
-I am currently taking 2 AP classes with intention of taking 3 more next year
-I recieved a 155 on my PSAT and hope for a 1650 on my SATs (low but I am horrible at tests wah)
-Top 40% class but hope to be top 30% by the end of this school year.</p>

<p>Extra:
-Amnesty International (9-current)
-Model UN (10-current, also won many awards at confrences and vice president this year. Will be president of club next year)
-Junior State of America (10-current, vice president this year, president next year)
-Student Council (9- current)
-Mock Trial (10-current)
-JVA Soccer(9
-JV Winter Track (9)
-Girl Scouts (2nd grade- current, president of troop this and next year, Completed Bronze and Gold Award as well.)
-Soccer Coach of town U6 soccer (9-current)</p>

<p>-I have a lot of community service hours but have never counted them up to be honest. Service isn't about logging my every move I just do it becuase I love it.</p>

<p>-I have also been on 6 service trips around the world. I have done things like Habitat for Humanity in South Africa and helped out at AIDS orphanges in Trinidad. All of these were with my chuch and other Christian groups.</p>

<p>I can't tell if I have a good shot or not. I do a lot of stuff outside of school which is probably decent but school wise I slacked major freshman year and it has hurt me a lot. </p>

<p>Any feedback would be appreciated!!</p>

<p>Numbers-wise, it looks like Scripps will be a considerable reach for you. Of course, I don't know your SAT score breakdown, nor am I sure how to translate your GPA to a scale with which I'm familiar...it seems like it'd be around a 3.2/4.0? </p>

<p>Scripps' freshman profile, courtesy of Princeton Review...</p>

<p>SAT - Critical Reading Middle 50%: 630-730
SAT - Math Middle 50%: 620-700
TPR Projected Range SAT Writing: 690-750
Average High School GPA: 4.06
Students in top 10% of HS class: 75%
Students in top 50% of HS class: 100%</p>

<p>That said, as a small LAC, Scripps will look beyond the numbers, and you've clearly done a lot worth being very proud of. Keep your grades up, consider trying the ACT, start showing interest in the school, and when application time rolls around, wring as much as you're able out of teacher recs and essays.</p>

<p>Good luck :)</p>
