Unweighted GPA: 3.86
Class Rank: 27/446
ACT Score: 28</p>
<p>***Please keep in mind that I am a senior next year, and that I am expecting my GPA and class rank to rise, I am predicting that by the end of senior year I will have a 4.35 GPA and be around 20/430 in class rank. I am not sure how my ACT score will change by then. I would also like to note that my grades slipped first semester sophomore year, and for the last three semesters (In the hardest classes I have taken thus far) I have maintained straight As (no A-s). I have full intentions of maintaining straight As for the last two semesters of high school.</p>
