Asian Male, from California.

SAT: 1320
GPA: 3.6 UW, 3.7 W
- The reason for this is because the amount of courses I took throughout my three years thus far diluted the effect of any AP classes. Also, my High School doesn't count College Classes as Honors points, neither does it count Honors points. Boy, do we suck.
SAT II: Scores come sometime this week, but from the CC threads, I reckon around 700 across the board.
- SAT IIs taken: US History, World, and Writing.
- Will take: Mathematics IC, and two others in November.

Mathematics - Pre-calculus/AP Statistics
Sciences - AP Environmental/CP Bio/Chem, maybe physics?
