<p>But here it is. The one that will probably get me rejection letters: gpa: uw: 3.28ish. weighted: 3.7ish</p>

<p>-have had extremely demanding course load [one of the most demanding in fact], have exhausted all APs at school except for Math, physics, and language, and all honors except for physics and language. Taken 7 classes/yr. Except senior year taking 4 classes+2 at community college</p>

<p>Rank not assigned [as far as I know]</p>

<p>Go to one of best high schools in California, and in top 50 for the United States [Am Indian]
Also, side note, I was out of school completely for about 9 months after I moved to America [from another English speaking country], and then I was forced to skip to 7th grade on the basis of a math test=I missed ALOT of education</p>

<p>I’m working on making a smashing essay [have yet to pick a topic, probably reuse UC essay] because I know I am smart and have strong critical thinking skills, my high school was just not the best place I could show them off.</p>

<p>make sure you put your national debate stuff in your app. I'd give you 60% 40% in your favor.</p>
