<p>Hi everyone,
I'm entering the intel sts this year, but my grades are lackluster at best. My weighted GPA is around a 4.0, with unweighted hovering around 3.5
I've done decently well on my AP tests, however, and have won several national medals in Science Olympiad. My ACT score is pretty high, and my SAT II scores are not bad as well.</p>
<p>Would grades eliminate any chance I had of becoming an STS finalist? I'm doing a fairly complex environmental science project.</p>
