<p>Hey everyone I'm a paranoid rising junior. Here's some background information that may be important:</p>
<p>-I attend Princeton High School(live in princeton, also about 30-35 out of 350 get accepted per year from our school)
-Asian
-I have a sibling that graduated from Princeton for undergrad</p>
<p>Alright on to my stats:</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.40 (however, grades improved dramatically from freshman to sophomore year)</p>
<p>Classes of note:
Freshman-Pre-calc accel, Biology accel
Sophomore- AP Calc BC, AP Chem (got a 5), AP Econ(4 on micro, 5 on macro)</p>
<p>Extra stuff:
-Class treasurer for sophomore and junior year
-Trumpet section leader for jazz ensemble (school band, reasonably high position)
- Science Bowl (not high position yet)
-Science olympiad (not high position yet)
- School newspaper writer (not high position yet)</p>
<p>And that's basically it. Thanks for reading. BTW Today is my birthday!</p>
<p>Your GPA is lower than average, and I can’t make a very good judgment since you don’t have any standardized test scores either. Your ECs/volunteer work don’t show much (and btw you shouldn’t force yourself to get high positions just for the sake of having high positions. Try to get high positions if you want the responsibility and enjoy doing what you do).</p>
<p>It’s a long shot, but then again, it’s a long shot for everyone haha. xD</p>
<p>And happy birthday. xP</p>
<p>OK thanks for the tips! Yeah I actually am genuinely interested in these activities.</p>
<p>There’s not enough information yet. Raise your GPA by like… a lot, get really good grades on AP’s, get a higher position for EC’s, get a really good grade on SAT’s, and then we’re talking.</p>
<p>Alright thanks for the feeback! Guess I better work a lot harder next year~</p>
<p>I’d say that as long as you work hard and don’t get too confident, you should be fine. You really just need to get motivated and boost those grades.</p>
<p>@above thanks for replying/bump</p>
