<p>bumpppppp...</p>

3

<p>Alot can happen in three years so people are reluctant to answer.</p>

4

<p>If I continue on this path though, how is it looking? Or what can I improve on?</p>

5

<p>one more bumpp.</p>

6

<p>You're way ahead of where I was when I was a freshman. Keep it up and you'll be in a great position...just don't get Senioritis too early.</p>

7

<p>FROSH... do not really need to have their chances done. Seriously.</p>

8

<p>calm down. they arent chances. its to see what i can improve on and if im on the right road, im not asking for you to chance me. plus, im one quarter away from being a soph. :)</p>

9

<p>how do you have a 4.0 UW GPA and are ranked 5th .. is it just by alphabetical order for ties cause that would suck</p>

10

<p>Rankings go by weighted GPA (at least in my school). There are people with a higher GPA than me, because unfortunately, I didn't know that incoming freshman could be parent preferenced into the AP Human Geography class, so those kids have a higher W GPA than me.</p>

11

<p>one last bump</p>

12

<p>oh ok .. and this 'chance' thread is unnecessary .. you haven't even taken the PSAT yet or have a developed EC list and you're just a freshmen so chill .. sorry for being so critical but it looks like you're having a good start to high school so just keep it up</p>

13

<p>Again, it's not a "chance" thread. It's a thread asking how I'm doing so far and if here is anything I can improve on or do to help me gain admission to these schools in the future. Wow, some people really need to loosen up.</p>

14

<p>i'm pretty sure you're the freshmen on here trying to see if you can get into wharton without completing a year of high school yet .. you have all As how do you think you're doing so far? seriously? come on.</p>

15

<p>Okay, about the freshman part, who cares? I"m almost a soph and there are probably a hundred more freshman on here. It just shows that I"m college bound, whatever. And grades aren't everything, I wanted to see bout my EC's and just stats in general. You seriously need to take the stick out of your...</p>

<p>Your rudeness is so unnecessary.</p>

16

<p>must you be hypocritical? "Your rudeness is so unnecessary" Yet, i haven't said anything rude. I've just been honest and up front. Yet, you must add in "you seriously need to take the stick out of your..." and before "wow, some people need to loosen up." Please. I already said you're doing well. You know you're doing well. There's nothing you can improve on so far.</p>

17

<p>you haven't said anything rude?</p>

<p>"i'm pretty sure you're the freshmen on here trying to see if you can get into wharton without completing a year of high school yet"</p>

18

<p>it's the honest truth though. i was just trying to put your fantastic aspirations in context. you still have time, things to do, and things to accomplish. good luck.</p>

19

<p>Debate puts you on the perfect path ;)</p>

<p>Looks like you're doing good at your TOC tournaments....keep it going the next 3 years.</p>

<p>Haha yeah I'm doin alright. Just finished Varsity States where I got killed, but it's okay, because at least I qualified. I got Novice States comin up in late April, which I have a really good chance at winning.</p>
