<p>Hey guys, I have a 1460 on the SAT but an ABYSMAL GPA. My GPA is <strong>cringes</strong> 2.85 unweighted, 3.85 weighted (according to my school's weird system). My CR is like 62nd percentile when weighted, but only like 47th when unweighted... :/, but I'm in the IB program and have taken 9 pre-IB/honors courses and 15 IB/AP courses (no regulars...ever). I dont have much in the way of EC's, just spanish club, film club, 1 yr boxing, 1 yr student government, 80 hours of community service at a local elementary school, and some trips to europe, africa, and south america (if they count?). I applied to University of Oregon, University of Washington, University of Connecticut, University of New Hampshire, University of Vermont, University of Montana, U of Kentucky, and U of Georgia. Evaluate my chances... Crush my hopes or make me cry with tears of happiness.</p>
<p>u will get in keuntucky... not famililiar with other ones u live way out of my jurisdiction.</p>
<p>Alright, what's the highest GPA in your Class?</p>
<p>Did you submit the essay required by U of Oregon for applicants with GPA's below 3.25?
<a href="http://admissions.uoregon.edu/apply/freq.htm%5B/url%5D">http://admissions.uoregon.edu/apply/freq.htm</a> I think you'll probably go into comprehensive review at U of Washington as well. That will probably be the biggest reach on your list, assuming you have good references where required, wrote good personal statements, etc.</p>
<p>no at uga,admin will think you just studies for the sat all hs year long, do u have any trends in your gpa...? might want to "add" sports to your resume like a 3 years of bball just so it doesnt look like you sat around all 4 years</p>
<p>i have a strong upward trend... my junior year GPA was a 3.7 in all IB/AP classes. justperfect what do you mean "add" sports to my resume? like bs it?</p>
<p>will I get into at least one of them?? I REALLY like UVermont, UOregon, and UMontana (in that respective order), and reallly hope to go to UVT.</p>
<p>Don't schools look at Weighted GPA in admissions?</p>
<p>God I hope so.</p>
<p>Why are you applying to only state schools? I realize they are cheaper for in-state, but out of state..not much less than a private school. Or so i hear?</p>
<p>U.W. does not consider weighted GPAs. They will recalculate. You will be credited with a 2.85. They also use an Admissions Index. A 70 (3.7/1240 SAT) will get you an automatic admit if you are in state. The index is weighted 3-1 in favor of GPA. Your combination of numbers gives you a 43 AI. A high percentage of students get admitted with an AI of 57 and higher. 28 is required to be in comprehensive review. Conclusion: You will be considered for admission at the Un. of Washington, with a not very high chance of being admitted. But good luck.</p>
<p>O.K. so probably a no for U of Washington... I can live with that. What about my others... Anybody? BTW I live in Gainesville, Florida, so yeah, these are all out of state for me.</p>
<p><strong><em>please?</em></strong></p>
<p>The upward trend and hard classes are definately in your favor. I'm not familiar with your list, so I can't guess chances on it. However, I am curious as to whether you have thought about applying to any LAC's? Also, did you take SAT II's?</p>
<p>didn't take any SAT II's. I did kind of consider some LAC's, like Knox College and Rollins College, but I feel like I'd have more opportunities at a state/lg university.</p>
<p>I like the idea of a LAC for smart kids with high SAT's and scruffy GPA's. If you are at small school and you slack off, there is a chance that someone is going to notice and talk to you about it. If you are in a 200 person intro class at a big uni, no one will know or care. If the deadline is not too close, you might want to think about adding a LAC. You might even qualify for merit aid. Allegheny, Wooster, Kalamazoo, and Hanover come to mind.</p>
<p>I'll think about it, but right now I'm just worried about getting into the schools that I applied to already (listed in my first post).</p>
