read me :)

<p>I'm taking the full-IB courseload available at my school, so I only have yearbook as an elective, predicted scores for IB tests for all IB classes are 5+. I think I'm one of the few kids whose actually stayed "sane" this year by not procrastinating and having to do a million assignments all at once due the next day, so I'm pretty proud of myself for that, hopefully it'll carry over to college apps and such.</p>

<p>I'm a junior right now btw. </p>

<p>Rank and gpa are excellent. Scores are also very good, but you may have to raise the math somewhat for some of these schools. Most of these schools are reaches for everyone. I think you look good for UF, UM and maybe for Emory and NYU. Unsure on some of the others.</p>

<p>yeah, I'm taking the SAT again in March haha...hopefully the math scores will get up above 700, I think I'll be competitive then.</p>

<p>UF, UM, Emory and NYU are all I'm really worried about getting into. Rice would be awesome too.</p>

<p>The rest I'm just applying to with slight hopes of getting in haha.</p>

<p>buummpp....</p>

<p>You look good for UF =) Good luck! And if you have any questions about UF, message me.</p>
