I'm way too self confident =)

<p>RD</p>

<p>Somewhere around a 3.0/3.1 GPA</p>

<p>2020 SAT
650 W 670 M 700 CR</p>

<p>I took Math 2, but didnt study at all for it, so i'm stuck with a pathetic 640.</p>

<p>All GT/AP classes since 9th grade. Currently taking 6 APs out of 6 classes.</p>

<p>Relatively good AP test scores from last previous years (mostly 4's and 5's).</p>

<p>Published a novel in 2003 (really, still available in places such as amazon or barnes and noble)
Played piano for 12 years
Played tennis for 5 years
Taught tennis for 2, including summer camp and private lessons.</p>

<p>And I was a russian immigrant in the early 90s.</p>

<p>I am undecided. My essays were pretty good, i think. They will most certainly stand out; and i think i made the undecided thing work pretty well for me. If anyone wants to see, i'll send the main essay I used.</p>

<p>Anyway, yeah, my numbers suck. But hey, numbers are just that: numbers. :)</p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>Rigorous course-load will somewhat ameliorate the 3.0/3.1 GPA, imo. </p>

<p>AP scores could help, but I think subject tests help more. Try the ACT? (or is it too late). </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Well obviously numbers aren't your strong suit, but because you are a writer, hopefully you can talk about your abilities and passions well. If you can prove to the ADCOMS through the essay that you deserve a spot, you will most likely get in.</p>

<p>The tough course load will help too.</p>
