<p>grades: 3.8 uw 9-11. if i suck this year it would be like a 3.8 or 3.7 1st semester sr. year :P
my school is pretty competitive tho and about 2 people go to harvard a year. i am in the top 1-2% and my weighted GPA is a 4.6. I will take 13 APs by the end of senior year. I also have perfect 5 SAT 2's and ACT (but 2300 SAT). I have a lot of good and focused extracurriculars and leadership positions in all of them. I have done consistent volunteering and I also went to a program to do research over the summer (and i have a paper or abstract that i will submit). I have also captained a varsity sport. As for my awards, I have AIME, USABO, FBLA, NMSF, and other national awards as well as a bunch of state math and science awards (nothing absolutely substantial tho). I really like my essays and the subjective part of my app (recommendations) are ok. I am an asian girl, so being asian might be a negative =[ All in all i do about 18 hours of ECs a week. </p>

<p>anyways...uh...i'm kind of scared about my grades, because i've kinda been really lazy in school for the past 4 years :(</p>

<p>With those kind of test scores and your breadth AND depth of extracurriculars, combined with great essays, I wouldn't worry too much about getting a 3.8 UW vs. a 4.0. Plenty of people have been admitted with worse stats. Then again, you never know with Harvard...</p>
