<p>GPA: 99.3 Weighted. They havent released unweighted, or a 4.0 scale, but in any case I'd be a 4.0 UW.</p>
<p>We don't rank either, but the only other person who could possibly be ranked higher than me has a weighted average a point lower. Meh, w/e, top 5 % is what they put.</p>

<p>Miscellaneous: A friend (well, he's more of just a helper) and I started a business (PM or AIM @ kyoukasuigetsu5 for the name and website, since it's not worth your time going on just yet...wait a month or so) that's going to sell some marketable (believe me >_>) shirts, my book (self-published), and maybe a few tutorial videos.</p>
<p>Essays: Great in that I kept it mad original/real. My long common app essay was about how my major choke at the state geography Bee was actually a blessing that led to an improvement of my life in all aspects.</p>
<p>Recs: Both teachers allegedly gave me "top reviews", but I waived my right to see the recs, so I'll take their word for it with a grain of salt.</p>
<p>So yeah feedback would be appreciated</p>
