<p>Do I have a shot at getting into Cornell with a 93% GPA? It converts to about a 3.75 at my school. I generally slacked off early in high school and I got about a 90 freshman year which weighs this down.</p>
<p>This was with all honors/AP classes and my SAT score is ~2300. Obviously this is more what Cornell is looking for but a 93% is pretty bad because my school pretty much hands out A's to anyone that puts forth an honest effort.</p>
<p>We do not have weighed GPA officially so my class rank is not good either even though not many other honors students are ahead of me.</p>
<p>they say that upward trends are good. I think you have a fine chance, enough that you should certainly bother to apply (if you like the school in other ways.)</p>
<p>I got in with a 3.0 but on an upward trend. I’m not a recruited athelete or a legacy and I don’t really have any hook. I did have a 2370 and 5s for my APs though, for what it’s worth.</p>
<p>I think you should be fine since most schools look for improvement. I took several high school courses in middle school and did really badly on them and that brought my GPA down. I had about the same GPA and SAT score as you and I got in.</p>
<p>The results thread is very intimidating to me because it seems like a lot of 4.0 people with comparable test scores to me got rejected. Maybe that thread is self selecting, but it makes Cornell look more much selective than I had believed.</p>
<p>According to the freshman survey, 62% of the class had an A average and 3-% had an A-. I will have a very low A, but based on that thread it looks like I will be in the very bottom.</p>
