<p>that actually would hurt ur chance because u have a low sat score, if u are a URM that low sat score would matter than much</p>

<p>Grades: Straight A's all four years
Rank: 4/248</p>

<p>then how are u ranked 4th?</p>

<p>sat could hinder your chances</p>

<p>everything else looks great</p>

<p>good luck</p>

<p>I am guessing others have higher weighted GPAs. I think you will be fine, but don't stress all of this too much because at this point in the cycle there is nothing you can do. Try to relax as much as you can!</p>

<p>then how are u ranked 4th?</p>

<p>There are probably people with higher weighted A's. I have a perfect 4.0 and I'm ranked fifth in my class. In fact, I dropped from fourth to fifth because I took public speaking as a required class and that wasn't weighted.</p>

<p>Did your father write a letter on your behalf as an alumnus?</p>

7

<p>oh ok, most schools in AZ that I know rank unweighted</p>

<p>you can do nothing now but wait, and pray</p>

<p>good luck</p>

<p>Hey,
Waiting sucks and I feel your pain ...</p>

<p>I say that you got a good chance since you got a varsity sport, high rank, high Gpa, legacy, and involvement in the church. But the only thing that is going to hurt you is your SAT (1280 is alil below their Avg)... But all you can do right now is just wait</p>

<p>sorry for interrupting your post but bqwe04 said the word "URM".. what does that mean?</p>

<p>with only few days left until admission results, would it do any good to send a letter reassuring interest in the college?</p>
