<p>I used the common application. These are my stats, tell me what you think.</p>
<p>GPA - 87.5/100 unweighted. My school doesn't weigh averages.
ACT - 28 (34 on the math and 10 on the essay)</p>
<p>I am not going to list my SAT score because the majority of you have only taken my SAT score into consideration, completely forgetting my ACT score, which is significantly higher.</p>
<p>I took two SAT 2's in Math 1 and U.S. History.</p>
<p>I live in Long Island, New York.</p>
<p>I went from an 85.5 average freshman year to a 93 average Junior year, with straight A's including a 96 in U.S. History and a 97 in Precalc (honors by acceleration)
I never got below a B in any class, and the lowest grade I've ever gotten in High School was an 80 in Cooking, which is what mainly brought my whole gpa down.</p>
<p>I did not apply for need-based financial aid.</p>
