I am currently a high school junior, white male, and from the south. My high school is public and ranked as one of the best in the state, graduating something like 20 valedictorians every year (all of whom will have had straight As and at least 10 APs). I am heavily humanities inclined, and expect to do very well in terms of essays. I don't know if intended major factors into acceptance, but I would likely apply for philosophy, sociology, or political science. I have never taken a non-honors or standard class while in high school. Weighted GPA is 4.2 as of sophomore year, that will likely go up barring total implosion this year.
