<p>Basics
Asian American Male
3.4 GPA weighted
35th/101
Private School, not widely known.</p>

<p>Tests
SAT: [CR 480], [Math 480], <a href="960/1460">Writing 500</a>
---SAT scores from June. I retook it in October and I'm sure I did better. Also going to take it again in November</p>

<p>SAT II: [Literature 490], [Mathematics Level 1 440], [U.S. History 470]
---SAT scores from May. I took it just to see how well I would do. Turns out I did horrible.</p>

<p>Academics
I didn't excel in school like my other friends did so I was pretty much separated into the regular CP classes.</p>

<p>JR Year
HCP English - B+/A-
HCP World History - B+
CP Spanish III - B+/A-
CP Chemistry - C/C+ (I'm horrible at chem)
CP Theology III - A
CP Algebra II - C+/B- (Also bad at math..)
SAT Prep</p>

<p>SR Year (currently..)
HCP English - A
CP Italian 1 - A
CP World Religions - A-
CP Trigonometry - C+ (was confused but I understand somethings now. Hopefully I can bounce back with tests)
CP Physics - C- (I'm missing a lab but I didn't really understand it much. Hopefully I will do significantly better on future tests..)
Art 2 - A
Theatre/Drama design - B</p>

<p>This is the progress report so I have another half of a quarter to bring my grades up. I am confident that I can bring my Trigonometry grade up to a B/B+. My grades for physics, however, aren't doing too well. I do try very hard in this class but it just doesn't go through my head.</p>

<p>EC's</p>

<p>Baseball (9th)
Basketball (10th)
Football (10th-11th)</p>

<br>


<br>

<p>Guitar (1 year)</p>

<br>

<p>Building Computers</p>

<p>Colleges
Bentley (ED)*
Rest are EA'd*
BU
Northeastern
UMASS Amherst
UMASS Dartmouth
Suffolk University</p>

<p>As you can see, I'm trying to bounce back from my falling grades in Trig and Physics. My RECs tell colleges that I DO try very hard (which is true). I know I have a lot of reach schools. Hopefully things can turn for me.</p>

<p>you'd have a LOT better chance at these schools once you bring up your sat score. Why don't you give the ACT a shot? I did, it worked :)</p>

3

<p>I would but I'm not used to doing anything related to the ACT's at all so I just stick to the SATs for simplicity. I don't know why I do bad too on testing. I tried studying but I still did pretty bad. Any tips?</p>

6

<p>if you bring up your SAT scores, i think you are a lock for the bottom three. I think the other three may be a little out of range considering you academic record</p>

7

<p>I'd Say that you can get in UMASS Dartmouth for sure. However, I'd have to say BU Northeastern, and Bently would all be big reaches without a pretty big raise in your SAT grade.</p>
