<p>I have a sort of unique situation (for the worse). Long story short I moved around a lot throughout my academic career. I have never attended a school for more than 2 years (Including elementary). So the school I'm currently attending is my third high schoool. I spent junior and senior year here, sophomore year in another state (living with my aunt and uncle), and freshman year in the middle east.
Freshman year was spent in an IB school. Sophomore year was spent in a religious private school. Junior + Senior year spent in a highly competitive public school (Ranked like 300 something in the nation). So at this school an A in a regular class is counted as a 5.0 and an A in an AP class is counted as a 6.0 for weighted GPA (I'm throwing this out there since in another school regular A's were 4.0's and AP/honors A's were 5.0's). The school I went to sophomore year put me in a bunch of regular classes since they didnt offer honors for many classes. This would have been alright if I had stayed at that school (in terms of class rank, since everyone was taking many regular classes at this school), but I moved to a new school where you need to have taken all AP's and have no more than like 2 B's to be in the top 5%. So I'm stuck with a rank just below top 25%. My transcript is attached. At the beginning of the school year I was 249 out of 612, and in 1 year (My junior year) of being given a chance to take all AP classes I went up 90 people.</p>
<p>Asian male from texas. Also no idea if this will lower or raise my chances in any way, but I am one year younger than I am supposed to be for my grade level since I skipped 1st grade.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.63 UW (out of 4.0), 5.13 W (Out of 6.0, but a 6.0 is impossible since you have to take mandatory regular classes such as Health, speech, etc.)
Rank: 159 out of 605
Scores:
SAT 1: 1st try 2170 (660 CR, 800 M, 710 W, 9 Essay). I will retake in October with realistic hopes of getting a 2290-2350 based on practice tests (730 CR, 800 M, 800 W).
SAT 2s: 800 Math 2C, 740 Biology (M)
AP: 3 APUSH, 5 Calc BC, 5 Comp sci, 3 Lang, 3 Bio
