My friend is too lazy to post her stats, but I am doing it for her.She will be a junior this year,and attends a very competitive school (top 3 in the state)
GPA: 3.97
RANK: 30/780
PSAT: 73 M/70 V/ 69 W (212 total) as a sophomore

She took all honors classes possible: Honors Geometry in her freshman year, and Honors Algebra II and Honors Biology in her sophomore year. She took Honors Spanish I and II and there are no honor classes for other subjects
She will take AP United States History and another Ap course online. She had scheduling conflicts, and she was also told by her counselor that she was taking a heavy load of hard classes (especially honors classes)-so she cant take another ap course

If she is too lazy to post her stats, maybe everyone on CC should be too lazy to give her advice.

I am wondering...who do you think would be a better applicant: my friend or me ("I know it is WAY too soon, but...)?

I think that you are far too concerned about your friend's stats. You are not competing only against your friend, but against about 20,000 other stellar students. Make sure your own application is as good as possible. Apply to safety and good match schools, too, and then let the chips fall where they may.

As for who's the better applicant, my guess is your friend because she's probably concentrating on herself and her application during the time that you're spending obsessing about her.

hahahah... kinda mean... but also kinda funny

isn't it a bit premature to assume that your friend is going to get a 2300+ ? if anything, round down~
