When I’m applying to college I will have around a 94.8 GPA unweighted. I took advantage of all the AP’s and college classes I could that were offered at my school but my school does not weight our GPA.
Many of the college/AP classes I took were medical related because I want to go into that field (medical terminology, dynamics of healthcare, emergency and clinical care, anatomy and physiology 1 and 2, scientific principles of nutrition, AP biology, AP calculus AB, etc etc). I go to a magnet type high school so all other classes are honors.
How competitive is this GPA for schools like University of Virginia, William and Mary, Georgetown, and schools of those calibers? Thanks!
Your GPA is competitive, so you passed the first bar of admission. Then is standardized testing. Then is the subjective stuff, like ECs and essays. Then is what the college wants that year/ how you fit in with them. You have to get past all of those to get admitted.
Its hard to say. At some public schools in Texas for example, about 15-20% of each class has a perfect 4.0. This type of inflation is done so that the students can get accepted into the local state university.
So this is why admissions officers often focus on the class rank. How does your GPA stack up against others in your high school? If you are within top 10% that is a good range for the schools you listed.
