<p>Ok, so a while back I did a chances thread, but I apparently did my GPA some strange way and I think it was off...and I forgot to mention quite a few things, I have new schools to consider and I have new AP scores, so let me try again. (please!!!!)</p>
<p>white female from New York
rising senior
public high school...not one of those "very very competitive best in country schools" but it's still good</p>
<p>-don't know class rank until next year, but definitely top 10% of class, maybe top 5% but I don't know...I think I am.....but I'm not psychic.....all I know is there's 276 in my class.....</p>
<p>Intended major: physics</p>
<p>my psat was:
cr:64
m:67
w:65</p>
<p><em>SAT: 2080 (first try)</em>
580 CR ,770 Math,730 Writing
as you can see I'm gonna retake for that CR score...perhaps in the 600's next time? in other words, CR will be my life for the next 2 months until I get that score up!</p>
<p><em>SAT II's:</em>
Math II- 750
Physics- 630
gotta retake the physics one too, I took it without having learned mostly any of the material so this time I'm getting the physics teacher to teach me the material first (he said he would)- there's a reason he said we shouldn't take this....so glad I listened</p>
<p>*I have been taking all honors/AP courses...got A's in every class. except for the required ones like health and art (although I still got A's, just not weighted) which there was no advanced art classes available until I took AP art.</p>
<p>*I don't know what my GPA is but my averages have ranged from 91-98, with my two lowest averages being in AP classes (the 91's) so they're pretty much all gonna be weighted, I just don't know the "right way" to calculate this.</p>
