<p>My school records are sketchier than most. I went to a highly competitive public high school freshman year, hated it, and switched to a tiny private high school for sophomore-junior years. This school had no challenging courses, only offered AP Calc AB and AP Spanish, no honors classes [as a sophomore, I took mainly junior courses, and as a junior, I took mainly senior courses, but you can't tell from my transcript.] I realized how royally screwed I was, and since my public school wouldn't admit me back, I became "homeschooled" for senior year and am taking community college classes and classes online. Chance me please :D</p>
<p>Schools:
Grinnell
Oberlin
Reed
Bard
Amherst
Sarah Lawrence
NYU
Knox</p>
<p>ACT: 32 (11 on writing)
SAT: haven't taken yet, but I got 214 on my PSAT, so I'm shooting for 2200-ish.</p>
<p>GPA: around 3.8-3.9 unweighted</p>
<p>rank: obviously I don't have one because I'm not in a school now, but freshman year I was 26/750 at the public high school, and junior year I was 5/50 at the small school. </p>
