<p>So, I’m currently a male senior from CT (fairly competitive public high school in one of the rich counties) I’m curious as to what you think my chances are?. School doesn’t rank, but id be right about the top 10%</p>
<p>asian (thai laotian vietnamese and indian... grab bag really)</p>
<p>Gpa - 3.4 UW, 3.7 W (huge upward trend, had a 3.3 or so weighted at end of freshman year)- last year, junior year, missed a month of school due to shingles + surgery, health problems explained by GC and me in additional info, which explains why my grades weren’t as good as they could’ve been in my junior year (4aps 3 honors schedule)</p>
<p>I've taken the hardest classload in my school... 7 APs, 7 Honors... can only start taking APs junior year and only 2 honors each year for frosh and soph years...</p>
<p>Ive taken every history class at my high school, done some independent studies and audited classes to learn more</p>
<p>SAT – (730 M, 720 CR, 680 WR, 11 ESSAY)1450/2130
SAT2S -
Math 1 - 720
Math 2 - 680
US Hist - 660</p>
<p>APS - 5,4,4,3</p>
<p>RECS - one who said I was best in 17 years, leader as a junior in a class meant for seniors... really really quality... two others who said similar things (when I got deferred from Upenn one of the other ones said that she had never called another school but Brown (shes a Brown alum) to complain about a kid not getting in but for me she might have to... lol)</p>
<p>ECS – have a lot, but these are most important/leadership stuff</p>
