Averages...

<p>My school UW average is a 81 and my W average is a 85. How will this effect my college acceptance? What kind of colleges will accept this average? </p>

<p>I don't want to go a Ivy like most people on this forum but like a four year private college like Hofstra or St. Johns.</p>

<p>UW - unweighted average W- weighted average</p>

<p>UW?
W?</p>

<p>What's that</p>

<p>weighted / unweighted</p>

<p>Isn't it kind of normal that most schools don't have mostly "A" students?
What's your rank? Grades of the top 10% at your school?
SAT?
You should be able to explain to colleges that your school is competitive.</p>

<p>It really depends on what school-are you ranked last in an innercity school or at a highly competitive prep? I've seen people get into Hofstra with 81's from average schools, if that helps.</p>

<p>I don't know my rank but there are like 800/900 Juniors at my school. I'm in a very big school >.< </p>

<p>Thanks alot!</p>

<p>I didn't take the SATs yet ;p Would a good SAT score make up for it?</p>

<p>PSAT?
Grades of the top kids in your school?</p>

<p>PSAT is horrific! </p>

<p>Top grades are like 99, 98, 97, 95, etc... </p>

<p>Yeah I'm pretty low. </p>

<p>I think my class rank would put me in the 300-400 range perhaps??</p>
