GPA & Stuff

Let's define students by a single number. 3.987. Is that the epitome of my highschool endeavors? I guess so. That's what I'm told at least. Hey, at least it's good enough for top 10%, which is what colleges want to see. Great, another number. 23/249. I guess I'm just one for cutting it close. Really close to a 4.0, really close to the top 10% line. Furthermore, I got a 32 on my ACT. I'll explain why this is cutting it close now... I want to go to UC for engineering. I want to go there for free, too. In order to be invited to compete (yes!) for the Cincinnatus scholarship (one which lets you get a full ride) you must be in the top 10 percent of your class, and get a 32 or higher on your ACT. But I could really use a full ride... really, really badly. One of my biggest goals short term goals with GPA right now is to win the Fall Student Athlete. I think that I have a really good shot, but it'll be close between Ben Davis and myself. Hopefully we'll tie, and both get it. Gotta represent for the CC boys. Of course, I won't get that without an A in TOK, so I need to keep writing these journals. GOGOGO!
