can i get into my dream/goal universities and colleges?
Let me tell you a little about myself so you can maybe tell me how I am doing at getting good chances to be accepted into certain colleges. First, I go to Barrington High School in Illinois. I am a Sophomore in high school currently and I will show you my grades so far in classes and I will also show you my planned schedule for Junior classes.
Outside of school, however, I am currently applying for a job, so there's a chance I could have a part time job from March until at least the summer. I played Baseball for the park district (outside of school because I didn't make the team) and I am planning on playing Baseball this summer too. I participate in Peers All Coming Together at my school (basically a bunch of kids hanging out and going to social gatherings to either have fun or learn about the dangers of drugs and depression). Also, I volunteer as a math tutor at my school, which is going to the "math resource center" and tutoring kids who need help before school and during my opens (I don't have that many hours with this but I can get more easily). I am also hoping to write for the school newspaper next year (I applied recently) and I write articles for an online sports website Bleacher Report.
Now, here are my grades. For those of you who don't know about BHS, its honors classes are 4.5 (not 5.0). Only its AP and/or Accelerated classes are 5.0.
Freshman year (first semester/second semester)
Geometry Honors A/A-
German 2 A-/A
Global Studies A-/A-
Biology A-/A
English Honors B/B
Sophomore year (only first semester)
English Honors A
Health A-
Intro to business A
AP Human Geography A
Chemistry A
Algebra 2 Honors A
German 3 Honors A
Second Semester Sophomore Year (just began, obviously no grades yet)
Speech
AP Human Geography
Chemistry Honors (I moved up levels)
Algebra 2 Honors
German 3 Honors
My current weighted GPA is 4.14 and my unweighted is 3.89. Here are my pre-registration scheduled classes for my junior year. (my gym class is a leadership program and counts for honors credit on my GPA).
Gym Leader Honors
Journalism
AP English
AP US History
Physics Honors
Accelerated Pre-Calculus
Drawing and Painting Honors
I did the math, and if I get an A each semester until the end of my Junior year (the years that are done before you apply), then I would have a weighted 4.38 GPA and an unweighted 3.95 GPA. Obviously, I may not get all A's, so assuming I get two B's in AP classes in the same time frame, my new numbers would be a weighted 4.32 GPA and an unweighted 3.89 GPA.
Now, for my questions, can I get into the individual schools I'm going to list with this kind of resume?...UCLA, UC Santa Barabara, Univ of Illinois Urbana Shampaigne, Univ. of wisc. at madison, Stanford, New york university, berkeley...sorry for the long list lol.
Also, knowing the kind of schools I'm looking at, should I do anything differently to my schedule? I'm not continuing with German because I don't really like it, is three years enough? or should i go on to four or five? Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
I have my period...and my friend has a birthday party?
So I got my period yesterday, and my friend is having a birthday party Saturday. See, I've been to parties before whilst on my period, but we're having a water gun fight. I don't wear tampons, so that's out of the question. If I wear a pad, a few layers of underwear, my bathing suit, and cloth/sports shorts, should I be good? We're spraying each other, ironically, with red water, to represent blood so we know who got hit. I just want to be safe.
Thanks.
Boyfriend doesn't have time for me?
we've been together for a little while now, but it seems he doesn't really have much time for me.
whenever we go out together (like to dinner or bars) he always wants to meet up with his friends who are out that night also (he's 20 and i'm 18 and i hardly know any of his friends so i just end up standing around waiting for him to finish his conversation).
i'm usually the one to text or call him first, and often he won't reply for ages/ at all, or won't answer the phone/ tell me to call later because he's busy doing something else.
he also always decides where we go and what we do - he's controlling like that sometimes, but i think that may just be because i'm younger
I don't really know what to do, because i don't want to tell him because he'll think i'm to needy or something, but I really do like him alot and i think i am quite needy because i usually miss him haha
it's not that i have alot of time on my hands though, im just about as busy as he is with sport and university and my friends/ family; it's just easier for me to make time in my schedule to see him.
what should i do?
also, not really sure if this is relevant or not, but we first had s*x in the very early stages of us dating, but ended up going out a bit later on despite this. I'm sort of worried that this may just be what he's after, like usually when we see each other we do end up having s*x. have i seriously screwed up? :/
My head hurts like S*** everytime i move?
hi my head hurts everytime i move, is it that i been in the sun for too long (i been doing sports for about 2 hours in hot sun, i been helping my friends spray paint his cubby house parts for about 2 hours, i put hairspray on my hair everyday alot (does that effect anything), i don't have enought sleep and being on the tv for about 2 hours and i feel sooo tired and i have to attend a gym for a 2 hour sport lesson today not missing that can anyone tell me what to do should i talk to a doctor
what sport should i do?
i do not want any sports that require a team, running, or hitting/throwing/catching a ball. i would like a sport i can do myself & just kind of get away from everything & enjoy. can you please give me some ideas?
i want something that will keep me toned
HELP!....What should I do with this guy?....?
Why would a guy say he has a fear of finding someone better than you, and say that he has been playing mind games with you?
I haven't talked to him since.
He is 20, only had 1 girlfriend that lasted barely 1 month....
MY QUESTION IS SHOULD I IGNORE HIM WHEN I SEE HIM, OR PRETEND LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED???? (We are on the same coed sports team) AND FOR WHAT REASONS WOULD A GUY DO THIS????
Can you explain the attraction to Kate Upton?
Is it the boobs?
If you don't know who she is... http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&authuser=0&biw=1440&bih=807&tbm=isch&tbnid=DkRcJ8mGX-HFBM:&imgrefurl=http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/298440/20120214/kate-upton-sports-illustrated-cover-photo-dougie.htm&docid=4yPBrwBayUrqnM&imgurl=http://img.ibtimes.com/www/data/images/full/2012/02/14/232452-kate-upton-sports-illustrated-swimsuit-edition.jpg&w=451&h=640&ei=2Ug8T_HAF-zXiALe86SyAQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=822&vpy=117&dur=3468&hovh=268&hovw=188&tx=147&ty=146&sig=114054898784212908450&page=1&tbnh=143&tbnw=104&start=0&ndsp=32&ved=0CFkQrQMwBA
I just don't find her all that attractive.
Do sports help for college even if you are not interested in actually playing for that college's team?
I play lacrosse in the spring, and run cross-country in the fall. I am considered pretty good at lacrosse and am getting the opportunity to get varsity time this year as a freshmen. I'm not too interested, however, to play in college. I would like to excel in a "biology" field, would being good at a sport in high school increase my chances of getting into a good college, or "put me over the top" of my other competitors?
