<p>Sorry I already posted this, but I only got one reply last time, and I noticed most people get mixed answers, so I want to know if mine were accurate.</p>
<p>I go to an extremely competitive, big public school (around 800 kids in my class.) It is ranked number one in the state for almost everything (academics, standardized test scores, and athletics.) I am a middle class white male. My school has 3 levels of classes, in order of difficulty they are: CP, GHP, and Honors/AP in that order. So, freshman year I pretty much just slacked off, then I decided to get my act together and have been doing pretty well since then. Heres my stuff:</p>
<p>GPA:
Freshman: 3.0 weighted, 2.8 unweighted (2 honors, the rest GHP)
Softmore: 4.0 weighted, 4.0 unweighted (All GHP)
Junior: 4.5 weighted, 4.0 unweighted (2 honors, 1 AP elective, rest GHP)
Senior (expected): 5.0 weighted, 4.0 unweighted (All AP)</p>
<p>SAT:
Between 2100 and 2250 (expected)</p>
<p>Class rank: around 110 out of 800
I'm not in the top 10% of my class because of my freshman year grades, unless they include your senior year in the ranking. Once again this is a very competitive school.</p>

I made my High School's website (I think this might look pretty good considering they picked me out of 3500 kids at the school to make it)
I also made the computer club website
I have my own flash cartoon series and website which I make, and have gained quite a bit of recognition for on the internet (I am planning on majoring in cartooning (and business) so I think this should help)</p>
<p>I want to enter the cartooning career field, my ultimate goal is to have my own show. If not that, then business career field. I want to go to Emory because they're highly ranked for business, and they offer internships at Cartoon Network since they're in Atlanta, it's the perfect school for me. So, what are my chances of getting in?</p>
<p>Heres the schools:
Emory University
U Michigan (Ann Arbor)
U Virginia
Penn State Schreyers (Schreyers is Penn State's honors program) (In-state)
Notre Dame
Lehigh University (In-state)
Carnegie Mellon (In-state)
University of Pennsylvania (In-state)</p>
