I am currently a junior in high school in New Jersey. I want to know what my chances are in getting into RBS or SAS.I go to a prep school, so we take AVID which prepares us for college. I have a cumulative GPA of 3.5. Freshman year, I did not join any school clubs or sports, but I was and still am in a youth group at my church where we volunteer and help the community. Sophomore year, I took an AP class and I also joined the swimming team. Junior year, this year, I joined National Honor Society, Journalism Club, and joined Cross Country. I plan to join tennis in the fall of my senior year. My class rank is 33 out of 217 students. I have 65 hours of community service, five more hours than the requirement(I should have over 100 hours by the beginning of senior year).

I am taking the SAT’s in a week, so I do not have any scores to show. However, I did take the PSAT’s. Sophomore year I got an overall score of 830 (new scoring), 390 in reading and writing and a 440 in math. Fall of 2016 I took the PSAT’s and i got an 870, 360 in reading and writing and a 510 in math. I plan on taking the SAT’s three times. My goal is to get a 1200 or higher. My guidance counselor said that I might be able to superscore my SAT scores.

Thanks

Your GPA is a little low for RBS (You will prob get into SAS though) but to make up for it try to get your SAT score a lot higher (Like 1350+). You still have a lot of time to work on improving it.

@eraserb. Your English PSAT is very low given your English grades. Are you a native English speaker? Doyou have a particular problem area (vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension)? A 390 does not seem to align with A’s the first 2 years and attendance at a prep school. I see improvement in the Msth scores and that makes sense given that you are continuing to learn the material. How are you working on the English part.

@Njmom224 I took the SAT last month and received my scores. 510 in Reading/Writing and a 570 in Math. I am a native English speaker. My problem is that during english tests I get distracted and then I forget that I’m taking a test and then I have to read the passage (I’m not a fast reader, to fully understand what I’m reading I have to read every single word and it takes time) sometimes when I read the passage the first time I won’t understand it so I waste all this time just trying to understand the passage. Then when I get to the questions, I have a hard time trying to understand what they are asking. I am not a good test taker in English. Math is more my thing. Sorry for replying almost two months late.
