Scores: I’m 17, and a junior at a large high school (833 students in my graduating class). I’m ranked 153, which puts me at top 18%. My SAT score is a 2240 (770 writing, 760 math, 710 reading). My weighted GPA is a 3.36, but my unweighted GPA is 3.76. I’m very likely a National Merit Finalist (219 on PSAT in Texas).
Community Service: I volunteered twice a week at the local hospital from October to May (about four hrs a week) and will volunteer at the same hospital throughout the summer (about 8 hrs a week) and all throughout senior year. (Memorial Hermann Katy, in case you’re wondering)
Courseload: I’ve taken multiple medically related courses, and by the end of senior year I will have taken 10 AP classes. I’ve always take Pre-AP courses when offered (since the sixth grade).
Extracurriculars: I’m in Mu Alpha Theta, National Honor Society, and the National Spanish Honor Society, as well as the official volunteering club at my school (I volunteer for all of these, tutoring sporadically, etc.) and I’m a two-time president of the school’s medical organization (Future Health Professionals of America/Health Occupation Students of America). I was on a team of four that won a UIL state championship in Current Events. I play basketball at the YMCA, and I write mystery novels in my spare time.
My unweighted is higher because I got a B or two in some electives. Foreign language, I think. Most of my core classes are A’s.
Also, pertaining to the reputation of my school, I go to Seven Lakes High School in Katy, Tx. It’s a very good public school, and it was ranked 413th in the nation out of 27,000 schools by NewsWeek.

1. Is it possible for your weighted GPA to be lower than your unweighted? I mean surely it could have been an error with 10 AP’s.I’d believe if you had a 4.36 or even a 5.36
2. Your Extracurriculars are very impressive, especially since you have 1 year left in high school.
3. Your SAT scores are almost unbelievable
4. You’re in the top 18% of your class and now is the time to boost your grades a bit higher, you see seniors are going to blow off next year like it doesn’t exist, so use that to your advantage and raise your class rank.
5. Make sure got good AP scores for the right classes, some AP’s don’t count for anything especially when you get to the major league college.
6. Finally, I bet you have better qualifications than half the students in the school now, but remember it’s a goal not a guarantee, KEEP YOUR OPTIONS OPEN. Trust me you can go far
