<p>Working towards at least a 30 on the ACT</p>
<p>White female from California</p>
<p>GPA W: 4.16
GPA UW: 3.99</p>
<p>My junior year I took 2 honors and 1 AP, my senior year I'm hoping to take a total of 6 classes, 4 of which are honors and 3 which will be science. My school doesn't offer many APs, so I mostly take honors classes when I get the chance, which wasn't until my junior year because sophomores and freshman don't really get the chance to take honors or AP classes.</p>
