<p>Next to each course I listed the credit. At my HS, 7 is considered normal, with one study both sem. 8 is a full load. My school doesn't really do honors classes except for English. In math and science you can be a year ahead as I was in geo. However, I elected to take the normal science as a frosh since you have to take a sem. of it as a soph anyway. As you can see I have a challenging course load planned out. I enjoy math and history much more than science as well.</p>

<p>Right now my GPA is an 11.714 on a 12 point scale which equals a 4.238. This is UW.</p>

<p>ECs-
Debate-many speaker awards, top at state, other championships
FBLA-active, 2nd place at regionals
Science Club-it's a club
Ski Team-JV, lots of time, few places
Tried out for tennis, cut
Drivers Ed this year</p>

<p>I plan to do forensics, student council, along with other clubs next year and in the future. As a junior, I will also do community service and be in NHS. I was honored by Whos, Whos, doesn't really matter. Also, this summer I have a job at the local pool.</p>

<p>How am I doing overall? Have I set myself up right? With good test scores do I have a chance at the Ivies. What about big ten schools like Wisc. and Michigan. UCs-Berkeley, Georgetown, etc.</p>

<p>if you keep on track...id say youd have a good chance at michigan and wisc...but dude...how in the world can you have a 4.238 uw gpa?...doesnt the very nature of uw gpa limit them so that they can only be 4 or below?</p>

<p>ehh...you're worrying about this a tad much...what you should do at the moment is relax, focus on high school first and then worry about colleges come jr/sr. year...</p>

<p>My HS has a 12 point system.</p>

<p>A 12 is an A+, 11 A, 10 A-,etc.</p>

<p>To convert to a 4 point scale you add one and divide by 3. This makes an 11 a 4.0, therefore since I have higher than an 11, I have higher than a 4.0</p>

<p>Also-what about the other schools?</p>
