<p>I'm a junior, and I took my first SAT yesterday...
I got a 187 on my PSAT this year. I actually used some books and di a lot of practice tests for this SAT and I didn't do that for my PSAT. Do people usually do worse on the SAT?</p>
<p>Right now, I have a 3.6 cumulative for all of highschool.
I had a 3.4 average Freshman year and a 3.7 average Sophomore year (I was slacking off all of Freshman and half of Sophomore)
I have a 3.8 average this year (3.5, 3.8, 4.1 were my quarter GPA's so far)
I'm going to be top 20 out of a class of 500-600 (don't know my exact rank as of yet) BUT my school is in an exteremly urban area where the gap between the college prep courses and honors/ap is VERY wide. Though people look down on our school, I think our honors and AP classes are as challengining as any other more prestigious school...</p>
<p>Co-curriculars? Almost non-existent. I can't play sports. I was in the orchestra Fresh. and Sophomore year (including 3rd grade - middle school), I had to quit this year because I needed to fit some drawing classes into my schedule and I probably won't be joining again (but I do like the violin so I'll be playing after highschool). I'm in the Art Club, NHS, Mock Trial, and my school's Writing Center. This year and last year I've been going to this summer enrichment program at UCONN. I'm getting a joB this summer.</p>
<p>Been in all honors classes... I'm taking 2 AP's this year: Bio and US History (I would have taken more but I needed Pre Calc. so I couldn't take AP Stats and AP English Lang. & AP Physc. is a waste of time). Next year I'm taking all AP's: AP English Lit., AP Calc, AP Stat, AP Chem, AP Physics, and an Advanced Art Class (not AP actually). My schedule's full because of the labs for the two science courses.</p>
<p>Erm... basically just told my whole story..
I'm black and was born in Jamaica... moved here when I was 5... </p>
<p>What are my chances of getting into the ... (I forget the name of the collge) pre-med./sciences college in Carnege Mellon? Please don't be too harsh cause I know my stats are really bad compared to what I see on here loll</p>
<p>AND I want to get into the CFA college for Design...but that's all dependent on my portfolio.</p>
