Anyone with Low GPA who got into ivies or comparably good universities?

Applying to College
1

<p>I was just wondering (or looking for some hope)</p>

2

<p>in at Harvard with 80ish up to grade 10, then 97% average in grade 11 for 7 classes, except for English, which was 77%. Yes, 77%.</p>

3

<p>It's more your rank and school.</p>

4

<p>no rank given. top 10 percent</p>

5

<p>okay that gives me some hope, except you had a 97% in grade 11!
I guess there arent many who has low GPA that got into selective schools..</p>

6

<p>3.5 UW, top 30%</p>

<p>in at colgate
waitlisted at penn, dartmouth, williams, and claremont mckenna
rejected from harvard, princeton, amherst</p>

7

<p>3.6ish uw (4.4ish weighted though)</p>

<p>in at brown, william and mary, wake forest, and great scholarships to florida and rpi
waitlisted at dartmouth, notre dame, vandy, duke, williams, pomona, etc.</p>

8

<p>3.4-5 UW
In at Chicago and UCLA.</p>

9

<p>3.8, Berkeley, most likely not instate.</p>

10

<p>3.74 at Columbia and UPenn.</p>

11

<p>3.5 uw at UChicago and Brandeis</p>

12

<p>What kind of classes did each of you take? I suppose how hard the courses are that a high school students takes makes quite a difference.</p>

13

<p>I've taken all honors classes and 7 APs total (2 junior yr, 5 senior yr) but my schools only offers 10 APs total, with the other three being languages I hadn't taken. I'm also confident my essays played no small part in my being admitted.</p>

14

<p>3.67 UW and in at Pomona.</p>

<p>I've taken about as hard a schedule as my school allows(8 or 10 AP's depending if you count the 2 Econs and 2 physics C's as separate + 2 CC courses). I didn't do every AP offered or whatever, but I did most of them, and I'm taking the Econ's online as they aren't offered at my school.</p>

<p>And I was right at that '10%' cutoff (43/430)</p>

15

<p>4.4/5 w, probably 3.5ish uw and got into cornell engineering. I'm barely in the top 20% of my class if I am that high.</p>
