<p>I know this is long, please bear with me, and this is most appreciated… </p>

<p>i'm an asian male junior in a public school, fairly competitive #18 in nj, of about 450 in my grade... </p>

<p>my weighted gpa is a 4.5798
my unweighted gpa is a 3.59
my rank (though they don't give it anymore) is probably around the 20-25/450
I have taken 5 AP courses through this year: physics B(5), Chemistry(5), Biology, Calculus BC, Stat, and all my other courses have all been honors... through my junior year i have 137.5 credits, i'll have 180 or 190 by the time i graduate (need 120 to graduate)... senior year, i plan to take AP programming, psychology, Physics C, and latin... </p>

<p>i scored a 198 on my psats sophmore year 72, 61, 65 for math, writing, and reading respectively, another one tomorrow yay! haha... and on the last sat i took i scored a 1460, an 800 on math and a 660 on English (thank you retakes). my SAT II scores are an 800 on math IIc, a 740 on chem, and a 690 on physics. (i also plan on taking writing) </p>

<ul>
<li>I took alg/II trig honors as a freshman as an independent study, and I am taking latin III as an independent study… </li>
</ul>

<p>e.c:

<p>I know I can get wonderful recommendations, my teachers love me and think that i’m all hardwork and no play… haha, considering all those things… </p>

<p>i was wondering what my chances are to apply early... i think i can score maybe a 2100 on the new sats which would be like a 1400 on the old ones maybe a little better depending on my English guessing ability on the day of the test... thanks… also how do they do unweighted, do all a’s a- through a+ get a 4? My schools a little weird on that...</p>

<p>considering graduating as a junior, so give me feedback on junior and senior chances</p>

2

<p>I would say stick with being a senior jsut because socially it will be disturbingly awkward going to college a year earlier.</p>

3

<p>i think i will stick around for senior year... i have nothing to do anyways i completed all my requirements... just out of curiosity, what are my chances as a junior % wise</p>

4

<p>will someone rate me... as a junior, and as a senior chacewise ish... haha</p>

5

<p>do you go to milburn HS, if you do I will have to reiterate LIVINGSTON HS soo owns u</p>

6

<p>which owns both milford and livingston... so HA</p>

7

<p>Livingston soo rules 32 people got into cornell last year</p>

8

<p>lol. You guys should stop bragging. My school had 48ish people at Cornell while another had more than that.</p>

9

<p>such bs =P Livingston had the highest pourout of cornell students for the past 4 years in New Jersey!</p>

10

<p>Where did you hear that?</p>

11

<p>I live in NY. Thus, its not an NJ school.</p>

12

<p>see... u guys... i had 4 kids go from last year... so we suck i guess... but we did beat milford and livingston in the football games last year, but seriously, give me some predictions % wise as a junior, current stats</p>

<p>and for senior... if i get about a 2100+ (1400+), and raise my gpa weighted to a 4.7 ish, and my unweighted to a 3.6 (4-8) haha...</p>

13

<p>id say junior % about 21.56, senior % about 22.912
thats my best guess. please do not apply cuz you destroy my resume and butcher my chances. im an asian as well, leave me some pride. joking, do wat you want but maybe work up the SAT I score, i know they like a well rounded person</p>
