<p>I am currently a HS junior on track to get my IB Diploma when I graduate next year. </p>
<p>Freshman GPA 4.0 (W & UW) both semesters
Sophomore GPA 4.0 (W) 1st semester & 4.17 (W) 2nd semester
Junior GPA 4.0 (UW) & 4.83 (W) 1st semester</p>
<p>I am starting my second semester of junior year now, and feel very confident I can get a 4.83 GPA again. I think that would make my average GPA from 10th & 11th grade a 4.45.
Senior year I will get a 5.0 or a 4.83 at the least.</p>
<p>I have taken only one AP class (World History) and got a 5 on the exam.</p>
<p>Haven't taken the SATs or ACTs yet, but I got a 196 on the PSATs, which supposedly would be a 1960 on the SATs (right?), and I think I can probably get that up a bit with some studying.</p>
<p>ECs: President and founding member of the Independent & Democratic Youth Club, Public Relations Officer of the Speech and Debate team, Vice President of Ways and Means of the International Baccalaureate & Advanced Placement (IB/AP) Fundraising Club, member of French National Honor Society, Key Club, and few other random clubs
My community service hours should be decent by the time I apply, probably around 150 hours or so. </p>
<p>I'm from a pretty good public high school in Southern California, where a lot of competitive people will be applying to the same schools.</p>
<p>As far as my personal situation goes, I grew up with a single dad ( I don't know if that means anything, just thought I'd throw it out there).</p>
<p>Wowwwwwwwww.... I sound like a total nerd! Haha. Anyways, I would LOVE to go to UCLA or USC... Cal not so much but I would gladly consider it. I am working sooo hard in school now that I just feel like I need to have some sense of what the future looks like or else I might die. lol.</p>
