<p>Well, Junior year finished, and I obviously didn't try as hard as I should have once again.</p>

<p>school uses blocking, and no the school isn't difficult. I'm incredibly lazy.</p>

<p>GPA 9-11: 3.68W(awful weighing system: 4.333 for an A in an AP)
GPA 10-11: 3.938W(again, lol)
Freshmen:3.196UW(no AP, 1 Honor)</p>

<p>Sophomore:3.791(no AP, no Honor)[1Ap and 1 Honor was offered]</p>

<p>Junior: most AP anyone took
English 3: A/A-
*Pre AP Physics B: A/A
*AP US History: B+/B/A-
*Pre AP Calc AB: A/A
*AP Biology: A/A
*AP Statistics: A/A
Speech III: A
Spanish: A/A</p>

<p>*:Weighed course, A=4.333 A-=4.0 B+=3.667, etc</p>

<p>Class Rank: at the moment, probably top 12%. I'll hopefully get to the 10% after the first semester of senior year(based off of an assumption that I won't be lazy...)</p>

<p>ACT: 34
SAT: 2300
SAT II: 790US, 770 Biology, 800 Math IIC
PSAT 220</p>

<p>AP Tests: At least a 4 on Bio and US(only took those)</p>

<p>ECs:
*Speech and Debate 3 Years LD Debate, nats qualifier
*Medical Club 3 Years
*AIME (like it means anything, right?)
*Stanford Debate Camp - Advanced Seminar
*Attending JSA Georgetown Session - Advanced program
[If I like JSA, I'll probably start a JSA chapter at my school...]
*NHS 3 years
*Internship at a local Law firm</p>

<p>My ECs reflect interest in politics, while my grades reflect interest in math & science... @<a href="mailto:@">@</a>. I'm not worried about essays; I am a good writer.</p>

<p>Looking at selective schools, mainly...</p>

<p>East Coast/IL/CA
Private preferably
Selective
2000-10000 students
Near or on a large body of water
Strong science/math/politics/philosophy/econ departments
Univ- not LAC</p>

<p>bump.... nothing? lol</p>

<p>It's kind of outside of your size constraints, but I hear that NYU is really big on SAT scores...</p>

4

<p>your SATs are great and your GPA is not nearly as bad as you made it out to be. I don't think any doors will be shut on you with these stats. Generally speaking, the larger the school the the focus on SATs.</p>

5

<p>^^ actually, I think it's the opposite. Larger schools tend to be publics, which tend to focus more on GPA than SAT scores.</p>

6

<p>I agree. NYU places a huge emphasis on SAT scores.</p>
