July 7, 2010Right now I’m a senior
freshman year i got a 3.6 gpa and took four honors classes and one regular class
sophmore year i took 3 honor classes and three regular and a 2.8 gpa
junior i took 2 1/2 honors classes, 2 ap classes and two regular with a 3.8 gpa
senior year i am taking four ap classes and two honors and i’m getting a 3.8 so far
i got a 32 on the act
and i am a merit scholar
i have been in the animal care league, chemistry club, enviormental club, tau gamma(helping out kids after school), childrens clinic, summer program at college, two years of being on the tennis team, helped out at hospital and has two poems published in school books, and in the science fair.
I’m not sure, but to be honest, I don’t think so. I thought Ivy League schools were only looking for student with a straight 4.0 average who are in leadership programs, not just involved in extracurricular. I’ve never made below a 3.8 and the idea of me getting into Vassar or Brown is laughable — the competition is just ridiculous nowadays. But like they say, never stop trying; it could come down to your admissions essay and your SAT scores.
