What do you all think? I told my admissions officer that it's my number one school by far. For what it's worth, I met with him during my second tour, exchanged a few emails, and also met with him for an interview as I said above.

Thank you! :redface:

^ that is what our school uses, but it still doesnt say what your GPA is at your school. Also they want your class ranking of all the seniors in your class..
 
My school doesn't calculate class rank, nor a scale for my GPA; even on my official transcript there was no scaled GPA.
 
Math looks a bit low, since your math is weighted twice compared to your CR.
Are you taking SAT or ACT again?

The rest looks good, but who knows there's a whole lot of applicants whose application looks good like yours. Maybe there is something unique on your resume that admissions is looking for.
