<p>^There are more siemens semifinalists out there than you think, so I’d give the OP about a <5% at acceptance because his GPA (even without freshman year) is “subpar” for these types of schools. However, I could see you getting with a nice essay about your science bowl passions.</p>
<p>saints2009: I’m not a ■■■■■, cause if I was I would say something stupid that would give me away,</p>
<p>Umm, how do you know my GPA? I didn’t tell you, i just said i have two C’s. No biggie.
I’ll just take some college courses to balance it out.
bsides, my recs are pretty amazing (science lab PI and Calc teacher, extra from college professor in chem.)
also my essays are on quiz bowl, cause it truly shows who I am, but I will look into the possibility of writing about science competitions, cause those were intense.</p>
<p>1) everyone says their recs are amazing (and most P applicants’ probably are. They won’t stand out (probably))
2) Am I being an idiot (quite possible) but what are SAT/ACT scores?</p>
<p>These at my semester grades since 9th grade:
9th: 9B’s, 2 C’s, 3 A’s
10th: 5 B’s, 1 C, 8 A’s
11th: All A’s, 1 B
12th: All A’s
every year I had 7 classes, 2 semesters each. Can someone calculate GPA?</p>
<p>I’m perplexed by your method of calculating the GPA, so I decided to punch out the numbers on my calculator to check for fallacies.</p>
<p>Your Unweighted GPA is 3.625 ( A = 4.000, B = 3.000, C = 2.000, D = 1.000)</p>
<p>Based on you incompetence in such simple calculations as this, I will have to question the actuality of the awards you have received in your first post. However, debunking the achievements of others is not something I’m inclined to commit to, so I will leave the truth of the matter to you.</p>
<p>You got 14 B’s, 2 C’s, and 1 D in high school. While Princeton may be lenient on your high school grades, somewhat, I do not believe that marks as horrendous as these will “fly” with the admissions committee. Nevertheless, I wish you luck.</p>
<p>It’s ridiculous that you suspect me of knowing that just because of my stats. That’s like racial profiling.</p>
<p>Also, explain to me how you got that gpa calculation. I’m perplexed at your method. I did the same thing as you… Actually, you didn’t take into account that I aced 5 college courses during the summers, and I had that averaged into my gpa due to a special agreement with the principle, to make up for that ugly D.
Check and mate, mate.</p>
<p>Due to the fact that you missed my comment in my earlier post about how I calculated my gpa, I am starting to believe that you are unqualified to speak on the matter.</p>
<p>And I don’t appreciate you trying to pin that feces about my gpa calculating skills on this post.</p>
<p>First off, “mate”, you never gave us perspective on the weight of college classes. And before you make another ignorant post, see those first three words in my second paragraph, Your Unweighted GPA. It seems as if you’re attempting to justify yourself, making yourself feel better by trying to argue with such quantitative data. I gave you a chance based off of your stats, you didn’t like it, you argued. Why even post a chance thread when you only wish to receive positive remarks? Stop giving me crap.</p>
<p>You got 14 B’s, 2 C’s, and 1 D in high school. Nothing you can do will change that. It doesn’t matter if you took 5 college courses or whatever, you got those grades. People with 4.0 GPA’s and over 10 AP’s apply every year and are rejected, why should Princeton accept you? Based off of your attitude as displayed on this forum, I’m even more concerned about the admissions decision for you.</p>
<p>Okay, your chances and your possibility of being a ■■■■■ aside, let’s take a look at your completely ridiculous and absurd statement of “That’s like racial profiling.” Because no, it’s not.</p>
<p>He judged you based upon your actions, not based upon your appearance. You made a stupid mistake in a simple mathematical computation (which you even had a calculator to guide you with), he has every rights to doubt your qualification into one of the world’s top institutions. His judgment would be similar to racial profiling if he deemed you unqualified for Princeton based upon your appearance, such as your Forum name.</p>
<p>Furthermore, you can’t just omit information and expect someone else to draw a correct conclusion out of it. You didn’t even originally list what grades you got in such courses, how the hell do you expect him to end up with accurate results? College courses you take over the summer do not, and can not be weighed into your GPA. The fact that your principal (not principle, your horrendous spelling is another reason for us to doubt your worth) breached such boundaries is despicable.</p>
<p>In the end, colleges will see your transcript; they will see all your Bs, all your Cs, and your D as well! Once they realize the inconsistency with your falsified GPA with your transcript, you’ll be rejected immediately. And then of course, at that point, you’ll proceed to blame your principal rather than your own failure to achieve high grades.</p>
<p>And as a final statement, that wasn’t a “Check and mate” moment at all. With your stupidity aside, you also have terrible comedic timing.</p>
<p>JudgmentDay and CalvinTBOD, can’t you see that it is you guys who are the ■■■■■■, not danishpastry123?</p>
<p>Sure, he‘s received 14 B’s, 2 C’s, and 1 D in high school. But look at the full picture: he aced 5 college courses during the summers, and had that averaged into his GPA due to a special agreement with his principle. By my calculations, that is a 3.9107459 unweighted GPA. (Sorry OP, rounding difference) Given that he’s taken 11 APs, his WGPA is probably between 4.45398 and 4.678309, depending on his principle’s special weighting formula. Plus, he has amazing recs.</p>
<p>To me, it all adds up to something very special.
Check and mate.
KTHANXBYE or something</p>
<p>First off, you obviously have no idea what it means to be a “■■■■■.” For example, making logical arguments against the OP does not make you a ■■■■■. </p>
<p>Secondly, you’ve completely disregarded the point that both of us were trying to make. I find it absolutely ridiculous you’re accusing of being ■■■■■■ when you can’t even properly comprehend what we’re saying. And again, it’s principal, not principle. And speaking of which, principals like him are the reason college admission officers can’t rely on GPA alone as a basis for grades. That’s why they need to take into consideration rigor, rank, and transcript.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The math is completely irrelevant at this point. The fact of the matter is, you’re unqualified for this school. And you’re only supporting Judgment’s main point; you’ve asked for chancing but when provided with discouraging responses, you get bitter and attack. Learn to face up to the reality of life and stop denying every damn little thing you don’t like hearing. You’re being a child, and quite frankly, your immaturity is ****ing me off.</p>
