3.4 GPA.. top 3%? Scared?

Applying to College
1

<p>I have a 3.4 GPA (all B's this term) in 6 AP classes and i'm ranked in the top 5% (13/315) of my class. How will the admissions officers see this? (im a senior applying to top schools and got a 33 on the ACT)</p>

<p>*sorry, the title is a typo and i cant fix it</p>

<p>They might see it as grade deflation.</p>

<p>thanks! </p>

<p>i’m totally over-stressing, but what if my high school is considered “average”? Also, i got a B in APUSH, but a 760 on the USH SAT II. I performed similarly in math as well. Does this confirm the “grade deflation”?</p>

<p>Like people tell me, relax! Yes that is grade deflation and adcoms are smart enough to recognize it with the SAT 2’s and the class rank</p>

<p>Don’t worry too much.</p>
