<p>Has anyone been accepted to huntsman or CAS with these stats? I think that if I don't get in, it's going to be my GPA (7A and NINE B's....)

<p>Everything looks fine. Make sure you write good essays and get good recommendations.</p>

<p>This just caught my eye:

<p>Seems you have a laundry list of activities going. Pick one or two that interest you that you are dedicated to, or even three interrelated ones you are dedicated and talk about them in your essay. The adcoms are beyond that game. They won't be impressed with this three page deal. Quality OVER quantity!</p>

<p>that is too many b's</p>

<p>GPA does not matter. What matters is your class rank/percentile. If you get 3.7 UW and is ranked at top 5%, you're in great shape.</p>

<p>A GPA at one school differs from that at another.</p>

5

<p>if you're from Philly and not the suburbs you're in.</p>

6

<p>haha welll...
sorry I meant "Location = near philly"
and class rank would probably be 10-15% (my school doesn't have rank)</p>

7

<p>Yeah that changes a lot. Students who live in Philly usually get a boost in admissions while students from the largest applicant pool - the philly suburbs - tend to have the hardest time getting in.</p>

<p>I heard someone else say on this board that someone was accepted with straight B's junior year to SEVERAL ivy league schools. That said....everything looks fine, the B's won't be the sole reason (if?) they reject you. Also, how does 9 B's and 7 A's come out to 3.7 unweighted? More like 3.4.</p>

9

<p>lol how does ur school calculate GPA? more B's than A's can't give you a GPA that is closer to 4.0 than 3.0</p>

10

<p>oh wow yeah you guys are right...i actually have a 3.4 unweighed and a 4.25 weighed.</p>

11

<p>so does anyone think i have a chance at penn with 3.4 gpa?</p>

12

<p>Well not for Huntsman. They only pick 40 students or so, according to one of the pamphlets I have.</p>
