<p>You know that your act is low and you will be taking it again so if you could get it to a 33 that would open up options like Cornell and even stanford. unweighted gpa is very good but weighted is not as impressive. Keep up the hard work and most of those schools will be good options for you! Best of luck!</p>

<p>my school only offers around 5 AP classes and doing the math the highest weighted gpa here possible is like 4.25, which kinda sucks.
but thanks for the comment!</p>
