<p>Wait, how do you know your grades for senior year if you haven’t started it yet…?</p>

<p>Overall, seems pretty good. Your scores are good (it’d be nice to bring up the CR), you’ve gotten involved in things (I assume) you love - from science to chorus/and track. I say you’re “in the running” (no one is ever getting in for sure).</p>

<p>But some questions - how do you rank among your peers? How is your school’s AP program (ie have you taken a lot of what they offer)?</p>

<p>good questions
i think I am probably in the top 15-20 % (like I said, very competetive)
and yes, I have taken almost all the AP’s my school offers</p>
