all other classes are honors</p>

<p>extra-curriculars: (nothing too impressive)

internship in architecture firm</p>

<p>sats (taken beginning of sophomore year- will retake)

<p>Question: how much of your senior grades goes towards the gpa you send to colleges? how does that work out?</p>

<p>Sounds like you’re taking and plan to take some great courses and that you’re doing well in them and it’s great that you’ve already taken an SAT as a first semester junior so you’re planning well and it sounds like you have some academic credentials that are indicative of W&M’s pool.</p>

<p>We would encourage you continue on the path you’re already on and maintain the courses, grades and involvements you have now. The GPA/rank that you report to colleges is the one from the end of your junior year. Most application deadlines come before your first-semester senior grades are available. So colleges will see those grades and any new GPA/rank that’s associated with them but they see that late in the process.</p>

<p>Hope this is helpful.</p>
