<p>Content with my 2200 and I know that it is competetive but I would have certainly liked a higher score so going with SAT scores.</p>
<p>I’m pretty new at this and even though I’m a junior, I want to know what I need to improve in order so I won’t be completely screwed over.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I’m on the right track but I just wanted to make sure.</p>
<p>If you could just chance me, I’ll be eternally grateful :D</p>
<p>So I was looking at a couple of 6 year PharmD programs and I was wondering if my stats were looking good to get into any of the schools. </p>
<p>I am currently a Junior in HS living in Ohio right now. </p>
<p>Ethnicity: Asian
Gender:Male</p>
<p>GPA:3.59UW/4.00 (This will go up, I’m pretty determined to get this up to a 3.75UW…if that’s possible)
SAT: 1970 (Planning on retaking)
MATH:700 (Will be 800. Made some stupid mistakes before)
CR:660 (Will go up slightly)
W:610 (Will go up significantly)</p>
<p>SAT IIs: I heard that they don’t really help at all, any advice on that?</p>
<p>Three APs this year, HS doesn’t let sophomores or freshmen take APs.</p>
<p>8th grade
Honors Algebra I (HS credit)</p>
<p>Summer

AP Spanish IV or Spanish IV or AP Statistics

Maybe AP Micro and Macro Economics (Heard the teacher sucked but I need an econ credit and I’m not going to waste a semester taking regular econ)</p>
<p>There is somewhat of an upward trend. Freshman year was fine but sophomore year was kinda rough for me. I suffered in Alg II but I currently have an A in Pre Calc. Chem I to AP Chem is just…ridiculous, my grades in there are not looking so hot. Does that really affect me in any way (considering it’s the toughest AP class)?</p>

Active member in the Youth Group

Various volunteer work</p>
<p>Might get a job at KI (Kings Island) in the summer, not sure how that looks on a college resume.</p>
<p>Recommendations:
I’ve been told by fellow students that my Honors Anatomy and my AP Chem teacher’s recommendations are outstanding and that the Advanced Comp teacher’s recommendation is going to be amazing.
But I haven’t had much contact (actually, none at all) with my counselor 
so that’s going to be sub-par at best.</p>
<p>Essay:
It’s really not going to be anything phenomenal or noteworthy considering that writing really isn’t one of my strong points (as evidenced in my low writing SAT score).</p>
<p>So, what do you think? I’m looking at Northeastern, John Hopkins, ONU, OSU, Rutgers, UOP (5&6 year), Duquesne, Hampton, St. Johns at Queens, UCSF, and just for fun, if I have any chance for the Ivy’s. haha</p>
<p>Thanks, appreciate it!</p>
<p>Has to be my SAT score as I only got a 1410/1600.</p>
<p>More AP courses</p>
<p>My SAT 1 score :(</p>
<p>I chose GPA, but I meant that I’d remove a bunch of W’s from my trans. I might have been able to avoid them if I’d worked something out with UMASS when I needed to take time off instead of just withdrawing from all my classes.</p>
<p>SATs :(</p>

<p>I would definitely do more extra-curriculars if I could go back in time. I graduated from high school with a 3.66 uw gpa, a 1920 on my SAT, 780 on the Japanese subject test, 720 on the chemistry subject test, and 640 on the math II subject test. My only extracurricular (seriously) was that I spent 1 year in Japan as an exchange student. Other than that, my college application was lacking. I only got into UC Riverside and UC Santa Cruz. I was rejected from UCLA, UC Berkeley, UCSD, UCD, UCI, and UCSB.</p>
<p>I have a learning disability, well that is what my family tells me. I test low but do pretty good with accommondations in my classes. The problem is i applied to a few school that have learning centers, i revealed all my testing (WIAT -II and Woodcock Johnson psycho educational battery III) testing that I scored low. I am now being rejected from all colleges. But the testing really does not show the real me, I just test low. Do you think I was wrong to reveal this testing did it hurt me??? help</p>
<p>I used to think that just throwing myself into school would be enough.</p>
<p>ECs all the way.</p>
<p>My ECs. I wish I could add basketball and guitar to them. (though I can still do that)</p>
<p>I should’ve switched out from the private school I’m in now (300 students, 10k yearly) to a much larger school, regardless of whether pricing was higher or lower, where more broad classes are offered.</p>
<p>Being in Canada one of the most crucial differences that you need to account for is your course load and coming from a smaller school some of the higher level classes I should’ve taken weren’t offered (because they focus more on McGill, York, etc. entries not HPY entries).</p>
<p>I’d change my ECs. I think I’ve done great things, but I got started later getting involved and never really knew who to ask to do more. I wish I’d known.</p>
<p>Definitely would have applied to more schools. I only applied to Penn State UPark, and now that I look back, I could have gone somewhere a LOT better. But my first year of college really ruined my chances at transfer because I switched medications that caused depression, which affected my school work.</p>
<p>Oh well.</p>
<p>im a junior and i regret not working… i have like a 3.5 but i literaly probably haven’t done my homework at home this entire high school career… i have a 34 act so colelges know im not dumb and i have like 5 honors and 4 aps for all of high school (which at my school is a toonnn) but i just want to cry thinking about wasting my potential… like i dont wnat to sound braggy but if i had applied myself i could easily have had a+'s in all of my classes. i need work ethic :(</p>
<p>Current Junior:
I’d change by 3rd quarter of Freshmen year when I received NO credit for either of my four classes because I was tardy a lot and got credits taken away. Too late now… Shoulda would coulda…</p>
<p>GPA is 3.2… Breakdown:
Freshman - no honors classes 2.4
Sophomore- 4.0(weighted)
Junior- 4.2 so far (weighted)</p>
<p>I hope colleges will see my work ethic and improvement and will not judge me on the bad quarter freshman year.</p>
<p>My GPA- I cant tell you how many times I ended up with a borderline B+ at the end of a marking period.
I also had incredibly bad luck with teachers. I often knew as much as, if not more than my friends who enrolled in the same class but had a different teacher. They would get As, and I would get Bs, because the teacher themselves had different expectations</p>
<p>freshman grade…i got c- in thai language(im currently living in thailand and attending a school) and that is the only c i got. rest of them are a and b…but still it hurts…especially if you are aimming for top colleges…i regret it sooooo much…the teacher hated me for being lazy and complaing</p>
<p>A b is like an STD on your transcript. Once it is there it is forever 3.99999</p>
