<p>Ok. I am a junior now</p>

<p>I received 3 b's and one c this year
I've gotten one B in my sophmore year but that was like an 88. Everything else was.</p>

<p>A b- in chem
A b- in Pre calculus
A b- in Physics
And a C in ART( it's a half credit, but still)</p>

<p>I have like 40 volunteer hours (planning to get more)
I'm in SGA as the treasurer (student government)
And FBLA as a regular member</p>

<p>Can I still go to a top school (like dartmouth or NYU or Columbia) if I kick @$$ 1st semester senior year and get some more ecs.</p>

<p>My trump card is my writing.
I'm extremely passionate in it.
I was talking to my cousin one day and I talked to her about the ACT
She told me she has never heard of it before.
This shocked me, she was a beginning junior and has never heard of the ACT before. So then I am always walking around school with soo many mis-informed kids.
The counselors always tell us you need a 36 on the act and need to be VALEDICTORIAN to get into a school like Harvard. And many people don't even know the difference between the SAT and the ACT. Many people( most likely the entire school) Doesn't even know that you need SUBJECT TESTS to apply to a top school.</p>

<p>I want to write a guide to inform people on stuff like this. I also wanna talk about personal problems and how to have better time management. It's basically a declassified school guide.</p>

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>if your gpa was already a 4.0 then if your are that unique or your a minority a 3.8 or whatever wont make much a difference</p>

<p>Oh and after being on this forum for months, a 36, 4.0 and Valedictorian mean nothing. </p>

<p>It’s about Sports, minority status or unique EC’s that will make you famous after graduation.</p>

<p>I am an African American.
I don’t add my Status into stuff like this because I feel it’s like Flaunting kind of…</p>

<p>You could try that but there are like 1000 of those out allready. I am sorry but top schools really just look at peoples applications for reasons to deffer or reject them and your grades are that reason, not saying its not worth a shot but you have an up hill battle. I would say your best bet right now would not only get a kick a senior year but destroy the ACT/SAT.</p>

<p>Okay, about the race thing. Explain to me with proof how a Black man is no smarter than an Asian? I personally think this whole racial stereotyping thing is stupid. A Black man living in America is going to have a better education than a Asian living in a 3rd world Asian country. Even a Black man living in Beverly Hills will receive better education than an Asian in a low income neighborhood. It is not the race that determines intelligence; it is the environment.</p>
