<p>First of all, does ED really help my chances? I know that ED has over 2x more of an acceptance %, but is it inflated by people with parents who have gone to the school and athletes? If my GPA would be up by about .08 and my class rank would go up by 6ish by the end of the semester, is it better to just apply RD?
Second of all, what are my chances anyways? Thanks.</p>
<p>So I have my test scores from June (kinda disappointed) and I am finally getting into the college search. Here are my stats:
my GPA is a 4.0 unweighted and is a 4.19-4.2 Weighted (took too many regular classes freshman and sophomore year.... class rank is 16/350ish-- should go up after first semester b/c of my 6 APs). For senior year I am gonna take AP English Lit, AP Calc BC, AP Stats, AP Psychology, AP Chem, AP econ maro, and AP Econ micro (so, I think my course load is somewhat rigorous).</p>
<p>Total AP tests- 11-13 (self studying for 2 of them this year--APHG and Comparative gov)... besides the ones mentioned above, I have taken AP Bio (5), APES(5), AP English Language(5), and AP World History(3)</p>
<p>I just took the SAT for the second timeand got a 2160 (780M,700CR,680W,11 essay). I am retaking in October and have already increased my score to about a 2250-2300.
Took the ACT for the second time and got a 32 (32.25 lol) ...I was expecting a 34-36... I will retake in september
Also got a 780 on Bio sat 2 and 740 on math level 2.</p>
<p>As for awards, freshman year I won the all A's award, geomerty student of the year, and communication applications student of the year. Sophmore year (at my new school), I recieved the principals honor roll. This year, I won the Discus Award, an academic letter (for receiving a high GPA), and the prinicpal's honor roll twice. I will also be awarded several awards for the congressional award (probably bronze, silver, and gold certificates).</p>
