I am a junior and am interested in studying computer science.
My projected GPA pending this year’s final grade is 3.77/5.25 (Unweighted/Weighted), Top 10% of the class (our school does not official rank but ranking can be estimated from school profile), 3 ACT tests all with Composite 34 but with a superscore of 35 (Eng 35, Math 36, Reading 35, Science 34), SAT Math IIC 780, SAT II Chem 750.
My major concern is my GPA which I am afraid is a kind of low. I had 3Bs in 9th grade, 1B in 10th grade, and am looking to have straight As this junior year. I think my GPA has an upward trend, but, overall, I fall into top 10% of the class. My course work is the most challenging one offered by my school. Except PE and Band, all my classes since 9th grade have been honors or AP (1, 4 and 5 AP for 10th, 11th, and 12th grades, respectively).
I have won two first places in state Chemistry Olympics (on chemical engineering projects not tests) in 2016 and 2017. I have also won 1st place in both state and national leadership conferences for my activities in FCCLA club.
To explore and demonstrate my interest in computer science, I will be going to UPenn this summer for a computer science camp as well as Purdue for an engineering camp.
I’d really appreciate your advises as I am trying to narrow down my college list. Thank
