OK so this is what I have to sell to colleges: I’m a kid with…

4.45 / 4.0 GPA (Ok not too bad, probably outstanding but not super outstanding…)
2170 SAT (hmm average)
710 Chem (eh mediocre)
770 History (average)
690 Math II (horrible)

Co President of NHS (good)
Public Relations Officer for FBLA (OK)
Features Editor for Newspaper (good)
Varsity XC/Track (good, except that I didnt get any for junior year cause I was injured)

Holmdelforums (good writing material)
ApocNation/OSS (eh maybe useful)
Church Stuff (but most from frosh year…not much after that)

That means I got 4 and a half B’s for my high school career… 3 of them being in Junior year. Ms. Gothelf gave me an 89, but you know, I’m actually thinking that was generous considering the kind of crap work I did first marking period. If only I coulda gone back and done it better…and maybe the salesman test. That really screwed me up. Oh well. It was a good class Spanish on the other hand…was impossible for the A. Only two kids out of 2 classes got A’s…so yeah. H. Precalc…I just gave up on the final because if I failed it I would have a B, and if I aced it I would still have a B. Retarded. After 3rd MP, I really couldn’t focus in math for some reason. It was one of the classes my head exploded on me for. But its also why I had a 690 Math 2 SAT II score. That really really sucks. I need to retake. gah. That, and sleeping too little and running too much. Econ Micro…I just screwed up 1 test that forced me to take a B. It was an 89, too. That really really stunk. A lot. I was hoping it’d be a GPA booster, and I was contemplating dropping Econ for the second half of Junior year, but eh…oh well. Done is done.

My job now…is to sell this to my target colleges. As you can see…my grades…as far as standardized testing goes, are only average for an azn. Actually… pretty below average for an azn in holmdel. *Sigh* — I’m counting on leadership (3 solid school leadership positions seems good), my essays which I feel I will write well (given my improved writing skill after 4 years of blogging)…and my other extracurriculars. Running, maybe. I’m not good enough to get a running scholarship though, I don’t think. But I have other strange things I did… like win 4th place in that bridge contest haha.

Time to go into planning mode and action mode.
