<p>I'm a high school junior (two months in), but I'd like to see others' opinions on my direction before I hit senior year with illusions of what schools I can apply to.</p>
<p>My school (top 20 or 10 in NJ) does not offer Honors in Freshmen year, nor any APs for Freshmen & Sophomores. APs in juniors are Psychology, History, Music Theory, or Studio Art. In my area, I am technically a year ahead in math (11th grade & taking PreCalc.)</p>
<p>Freshmen Year
World History (A) Geometry (A) Latin II (A) English (A) Biology (A) and As in art electives and gym/health class</p>
<p>Here's my classes for Sophomore year:
Chem H (B) Alg II Reg (B) Latin III H (A) English H (B) US History (B) and As in art electives and gym/health class. I had a hard time that year, so that's why I have so many B's. I came out with a what I believe is an UW 3.73 GPA.</p>
<p>Junior Year Classes [grades unknown, so I'm listing my end of year ideals]
Physics H (B+ or A), Precalc Reg (B+ or A), English H (A), Latin IV H (A), Chinese I (A), US History H (B+ or A.)</p>
<p>Senior Year Classes
Bio AP (if I am accepted), English AP, Calc H, Latin V AP, Chinese II, and probably another AP class. </p>
<p>GPA is currently a 3.73 (I have no idea if it's W or UW, but it matches the required GPA for UMD and is possibly above NU on Naviance [a college site]?), but I plan to have a 3.8 at least by the end of junior year.
My practice SATs have been a 1650 (CR 580, W 550, M 520 -- embarrassing as I can definitely do better), but I am being tutored and plan to raise to at least a 1950. I am planning to take Latin SAT II and score a min. 700 as well as for Biology. Maybe the ACT too.</p>
<p>My ECs; golf team, VP of a leadership/volunteer club, member of another volunteer club (will probably become an officer of that senior year), Pres. of Support Our Troops, secretary of Culinary Arts, member of Youth Council (volunteer), volunteered in various special ed programs, member of literary society, Latin Honors Society member. I have over 110 hours volunteer from '08 to 9/09 (plan to double that by fall of '10), will be hopefully a Student Ambassador.</p>
<p>I am out of state for both schools, would be applying with no legacies, no parent being a college graduate (sibling would be a college student.) I am also white & female, if that helps. </p>
<p>Major would either be international business/relations or pre-veterinary. </p>
<p>Any ideas for my chances in University of Maryland CP or Northeastern University? (: I am sorry if I put this in the wrong place... I'm new & not sure about thread placement.</p>
<p>EDIT; My unweighted GPA is apparently a 3.63 and my weighted is a 3.73, according to my school.</p>
