New senior year grades and developments!! Worth sending in?!?!

Applying to College
1

<p>So I 4.0'ed this semester, with 4 AP classes (Euro, Lit, Stats, and US Gov) and fourth-year french. This brought me to back up over the 3.8 mark (from 3.77 to 3.81) and back into the top 10% of my class (46/440 to 40/415). I was wondering HOW MUCH this will actually help me....especially since I'm applying to the top schools (5/8 Ivies, 12/top 20, etc.)</p>

<p>Furthermore, I received a couple of new awards and such, like a 1st Place in Public Speaking at an FBLA competition and three "Superior" awards at the regional school music competition. Should I bother sending these in? Again, I applied to a lot of schools (21 as a matter of fact), so it would be a real pain to send these in. Are they worth it?</p>

<p>Thanks for your input.</p>

<p>I'd say that since it's mid-year time anyway, you could potentially ask your guidance counselor to mention all this in her mid-year report.</p>
