POLL: First Choice College Pre-Admission Thread (Class 06)

Applying to College
1

With the amount of emphasis people put on stats, let’s make this thread to see what the average CC member applying to school X as their first choice has in terms of statistics. I will average the scores/GPA’s as there are more than one person per school. In the end, I should have a small profile for each major ticket school people are applying to that will look like this:
Harvard[4M/3F][750M,740V,780W][3.9/4.4][790 SAT II]

Type The Following:
School: (if you got into every school you are going to apply to in the fall, your first choice for attendance
Sex: M/F
SAT: xxxM,xxxV,xxxW (Composite)
SAT II: The AVERAGE of your best 3\ scores.
GPA: Weighted/Unweighted on a 4.0 scale for Soph/Jr Year (AP’s are 5). Calculate it yourself, don’t go by what the schools says, PE and other trash classes non inclusive.
