<p>id say chances are about 5%, assuming you go to a decent school
sats average
gpa average
ecs weak
work experience/internships are probably your strongest point, provided you can convey their importance to adcoms
unless you win intel, id be expecting a thin envelope come next april</p>

3

<p>come on, lets not be harsh. youre chances are as good as anyone elses.</p>

4

<p>The standardized scores seem pretty good and you have a big courseload. I am looking into Brown as well, and like any other ivy or really competitive school, their admissions process is unpredictable...but you seem to be doing everything right! =)</p>

5

<p>Your scores are very good ( an ACT 34 out of 36 ) is looked upon very favorably..They are all above the average and the mean...</p>

6

<p>Wait, what's your gpa?</p>

<p>Cause um... 93 isn't really a gpa I don't think...</p>

7

<p>Just convert it into a 4 point scale.</p>

<p>93/100 * 4 = 3.72</p>

8

<p>Oh, okay =)</p>

9

<p>Not really.</p>

<p>(AveragePercentage - 0.55) * 10 = GPA</p>

<p>(93% - 0.55) * 10 = 3.80</p>

10

<p>It appears that your calculation gives a weighted GPA.</p>

11

<p>How does truth's system work? That doesn't make any sense because my cumulative average is a 97.5. That means that I have a 4.25 GPA.</p>

12

<p>It depends on whether your school counts an A+ as a 4.3 or a 4.0.</p>

<p>Most grade-point systems do not distinguish between A+ and A. In that case, just ignore any result above 4.0.</p>

<p>This exception is only relevant when your average is greater than 95. (Or less than 55, of course.)</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>Nah. The average A is a 95 and a 4.0. The average B is an 85 and a 3.0. The average C is a 75 and a 2.0 The average D is a 65 and a 1.0.</p>

<p>It isn't possible to directly convert percentage averages into GPAs; the actual letter-based GPA can differ by 0.20 in either direction.</p>
