(Recycled from my Vanderbilt Post)
I’m a Senior in High School, but I am also an Early College Student in the state of Florida. This means that I am a full time, 15 credit hour student at St. Petersburg College (accredited 4-year college) and I do not take any of my classes at/with the High School, period. Junior and Senior Year are spent at the college only, but we still participate in clubs and sports at the High School.
My grades so far: 21 A’s, 20 B’s, and 6 C’s. (Let it be known, I’ve been taking very, very rigorous classes since the 8th grade (I was in PreCalc and done with my math and science requirements by the end of Sophomore Year, but will continue to take/have earned over 10 credits in each by the end of my Senior Year). The same goes for History (finished this year, Junior Year) and English (finished this year, Junior Year).
SAT: Math (600), Reading (650), Writing (700). I didn’t study, and that’s my own fault, but I plan on taking the SAT again in November.
My GPA is a 3.6, please be nice in the comments. . . .
