Hey guys,
I currently attend grade 11 in Canada. I was wondering about my chances to get into UOP's 2+3 program, what I should do to improve those chances, and what other schools with similar programs that I can apply to. I'm not really familiar with other accelerated programs in the States.
GPA: I'm not sure on this one (we use percentages), but my lowest mark ever was an 85% in grade 9, while my respective overall averages in grade 9, 10, and 11 (currently) are 90%, 95%, and 96%. I try to take the hardest courses that are available to me at school. I'm taking a secondary language for all 4 years in high school.
SAT 1: 1510, I'm planning on rewriting it soon.
SAT 2: I haven't written any yet, but I'm planning on writing SAT Chemistry and Math 2.
AP exams: Microeconomics (scored 5), Physics 1 (scored 4). I'm writing Macroeconomics, Computer Science A, Chemistry in a few weeks.
AP courses: Economics. Next year, I'll be taking AP Calculus, AP Physics, AP Chemistry, and AP Biology.
Extracurriculars: Tennis team member for 3 years (and counting), head of the Computer Science Club, doing research at a hospital (will do a LOT more during the summer), and shadowing my parent who is a dentist.
I did pretty well on an international piano competition and got invited to play piano at Carnegie Hall, if that counts for anything.
Thanks!
