ok. i have a 95% GPA in my 9th grade. then i was admitted to this new school, which is a very prestigious public high school and is much more competitive than my previous school. I had a 88% GPA in 10th grade. Now, i am a junior. I had a 84% GPA in the first semester. but I am expecting a 95%GPA in the second semester. Also, i signed up for many AP courses in my senior year. I have a 2100 on the SAT.
If you were a college admission officer, what do you think about my resume?
I transfered to this competitve school because i want to elevate myself and make myself better. I could have chose to stay in my old school and maintaina a perfect average but i felt it was a waste of time in there.

These days a typical college admissions officer uses a hollistic approach to college admissions. Your GPA is 89% or a B+ as of the first semester of your junior year. A college admission officer looks at the GPA, the difficulty of the courses you have taken, and your SAT scores. In addition, they look at your school activities, community activities, sports, hobbies, volunteer work, and even your employment work in order to consider someone for admissions. I will include some examples below. The AP classes will look great in addition to the college credit given depending on your AP score. However, I do recommend you begin searching for scholarships because the applications deadlines can happen at any given point in the year and could possibly miss one or two.

Add this explanation to your college application. I think it will be received favorably.
