<p>Um Hi, I'm not sure how this really works so here it goes...</p>
<p>Im I guess what would be called a Senior (12th Grade) in Australia. Im actually a US citizen but have lived my entire life in Sydney.</p>
<p>I go one of the toughest girls public schools in the state, its an academically selective school and were normally ranked in the top 5. I mean I dont get the best marks IN school, but Im expecting a decent UAI (umm kind of like ranking of the entire state, its hard to explain). Im not sure what my GPA is but I do get fairly decent marks, I mean obviously not all in the high 90s but decent. Im not sure how to exactly explain our system so Ill just say the courses Im taking I guess.
Im kind of taking a fairly heavy course load, even if it doesnt seem like much.
12th Grade:
English Advanced
English Extension 1
Mathematics Extension 2 (apparently its university level, at least according to my teacher)
Chemistry
French</p>
<p>And in 11th grade I took:
English Advanced/English Extension 1
Mathematics/Mathematics Extension 1
Chemistry
French
Ancient History</p>
<p>And in 9th and 10th grades I took the required subjects (math, English, health, science etc) plus French, Multimedia and Music.</p>
<p>I did a semester at a school in Los Angeles, kind of on exchange and while I was there I was taking:
Honors English 11
Honors Trig
Graphic Arts
French 4
Chemistry
Honors US History</p>
<p>Um my PSATs in 2006 were 210 but because I didnt stay in the states I have no idea about National Merit scholars
Ive taken the SATs twice but my latest score was 2210
M: 800 W: 690 CR: 720</p>
<p>I havent taken the SAT IIs yet but Im planning on taking French (either with listening or without depends when I can take them), Chemistry and Math II. I just dont have time right at this very moment because of school. Im not sure if I should take the SAT reasoning again because I really need a scholarship, if the school offers them that is.</p>
