What is your GPA unweighted?

I’m not sure what it is right now, but near the end of junior year it was a 94.6. Also, I wrote my weighted wrong. I currently have a 95.83, though I’m not sure it’s that much of a difference

Admissions are holistic and you have a great overall application so try not to sweat it. Also, You took a rigorous courseload so ND takes that into account too. That’s around a 3.8 gpa? That’s very good … and I’m right there with you.
