Choosing a College for Nat Merit Scholar?
Oh, yea, i got a 34 on my ACT
K, i’ve gotta chose 2 colleges to send info about me to for the national merit scholarship competition. I’ve already picked Standford, cuz my parents are spazzes and said i should, but considering my grades n’ crap below, what should my other choice be–some college good enough that it would be to my advantage to send stuff/info to.
I’m a Junior
4.6 GPA–weighted
3 AP’s this year/2 honors–last year i had 3 AP’s, got a 5 on chem, 5 on english, and 3 on MEHAP, This year, i took French AP, USHAP, and Bio AP, but ionno my scores yet
790 on chem SAT2
770 on biology SAT2
800 on math SAT2
680 on USHAP SAT2
2220 on SAT–gonna retake, will be higher, i messed up on the math (an easy 800), i got 800 crit reading, 740 math, 680 writing–the essay messes me up.
2160 on PSAT
I dunno, like 10 hours of community service? Personally, i think its bullshit.
I’ve played Volleyball for 2 years–including this year–was team captain.
Went to CTY past 2 summers.
And i’m a White Male–so QQ, gotta love afirmative action
–Don’t think i’m missing anything, if i am, ill add it
—Oh yea, money isn’t a problem
Oh yea, i got a 34 on my ACT
