<p>GPA: 3.865 (uw, don't know weighted)

PSAT: 233
SAT: 760 R, 720 M, 660 W (is this worth retaking?)
ACT: 34
possibly will become a national merit finalist
APUSH: 4

<p>Taking two classes at a Washington University (in St. Louis) over the summer, got an A- in a world history class and a B (I procrastinated too much) in a literature/banned books one</p>
<p>Freshman:
American Studies (two-hour block class, English and US history) A
German I A
AGS II (algebra, geometry, and statistics) A
Earth Space Science (semester) A
Integrated Physical Science (sem.) A
Orchestra A</p>
<p>Sophomore:
Literature and Composition (sem.) A
Speech B+
Biology A
Economics (sem.) A
US Government (sem.) A

German II A
AGS III A</p>
<p>Junior: (not sure of the grades, but I think the average is an A-)
APUSH
Pre-Calc
AP Eng Lang
Orchestra
German III
Chemistry</p>
<p>I've taken the most challenging schedule possible so far, excepting science classes (just took Chem last year instead of AP Bio) and taking orchestra instead of another academic class.</p>
<p>Classes this year:
AP English Lit
AP Calculus
Honors Humanities (two hour block class for one English credit and one social studies credit)
German IV (not officially AP, but I'll most likely be taking the test)
Gym (required for graduation)</p>
<p>I'm going to try to get all As or A-'s next year, but I definitely won't get anything lower than a B+.</p>
<p>Extra-Curricular Activities: (when I say present I mean I plan on continuing them through senior year)
Destination Imagination: first grade through 11th; will be co-managing an elementary school team this year
Violin: school (as a class) orchestra, 5th through 11th; private lessons, 5th through the present
World Cultures Club (at school, like a combination of the language clubs with some other cultures thrown in): 10th through present
I attempted to join German club freshman year, but it dissolved after just a couple meetings due to lack of participation
Quiz Bowl: 10th through present</p>
<p>Awards:
likely a national merit semi-finalist, possibly a finalist
various academic awards throughout school (don't remember what subjects I got them in)</p>
<p>I'm a bit confused about the chart that is supposed to tell what my approximate chances of admittance are...My ACT and SAT scores both fit into the top category, but when I combine them with my GPA I get a 95% chance and when I combine them with my class rank, I get a 70% chance... And how does the fact that I'm OOS affect things? Could somebody clarify this chart for me?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
