So I am currently a junior in high school, but am slightly obsessive about the whole college thing lol (aren’t we all) and was wondering if some of you could input what you think my admission chances are? For reference, Freshman year, I attended a small private school (<70) where there were no honors courses, and no AP offered until junior year.
ME
Ethnicity: White
Gender: Female
GPA: 3.89 unweighted, 4.4 weighted
ACT: 30C (34R 30E 28M 28S 8 writing) I did not study the first time and am retaking at the end of this month
SAT II: I plan on taking Literature, Math I and Biology (molecular)
Potential Major: Biopsychology
State: Utah (this is generally an underrepresented state which maybe will make a difference?)
School: Public (about 2000 total, 500 in each class)
Rank: n/a school does not release rankings, but I believe I am most likely in the top 10%
