<p>mmkay so... i'm not quite as stellar as the rest of the people here seem to be with the 4.98153 GPAs... so bear with me</p>

<p>IB Diploma candidate</p>

<p>unweighted GPA: 3.457
weighted GPA: 3.624</p>

<p>PSAT score: 207, but without any studying, etc, with studying could probably easily get 2200+
PLAN score (last year): 29/32 (again, no studying)</p>

<p>Taking AP tests in Macroecon, Microecon and Physics B</p>

<p>Just took ACT on monday, can post results in a week and a half</p>

<p>taken all hardest classes - Accel Geo, Adv Alg 2, Precalc, Western Civ, Accelerated Lit</p>

<p>as a junior, taking 4 IBs - Econ SL (testing this year), English I HL (II HL next year), Physics SL (HL next year) and History HL. </p>

<p>GPA's been on the up since freshman year, when I didn't really try, but I've retaken the classes that I got Cs in in summer school for As</p>

<p>ECs:
Soccer for three years
VP of Young Democrats
Mock Trial team (Regional Champions 2006, hopefully 2007...)
MUN
VP French Club
Volunteered at local science museum for a short time (not enough to really put on app, i don't think)</p>

<p>Will have really good recs, going to take a class at reed for poli sci this spring</p>

<p>So now... the list of places I'm thinking of applying:</p>

<p>(Political Science/Econ major)</p>

<p>American U
Bates

George Washington
Macalester
U Chicago
Johns Hopkins (recommended by counselor, iffy with my grades, I know)
Tufts
Hamilton
Georgetown (another counselor rec)
Oberlin (ditto)
Trinity College

<p>AND:

<p>No comments of chances, but just have to say....ewwww physics HL. SL was traumatic enough for me. But my teacher sucked, so maybe it'll be better for you. Good luck.</p>

<p>What's your rank? It matters how you compare to your peers -- it will tell us whether your GPA is good or bad, as it varies from school to school.</p>

<p>I'm an IB diploma grad, too. Wow, do I have bad memories of Physics HL. English HL, though, what a dream -- I loved that class!</p>

5

<p>no ranking at my school... but the great majority of kids go to publics in-state (I know an IB diploma who went to U of O last year).... kinda wishing i'd taken bio instead of physics.... >_></p>
