Chance a Slacker

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey guys, </p>

<p>To say the least, I'm a slacker. I've never bothered with my GPA, but have some interesting things going in my school career. I pretty much wrecked my GPA through fooling around in Freshman and Sophmore year, and am trying to fix it this year. </p>

<p>Me:
Junior, Indian Born, lived and studied in a few countries around the world including Brasil (No, not with a "z," in Brasil it is spelled in that manner) and Singapore. </p>

<p>GPA:
UW: 3.4
Weighted: No idea, I don't believe our school tells us the weighting.
School: One of the top public schools in NY, we usually send 2-3 kids to each of the Top/Ivys every year, exceptions going to MIT which doesn't like us. We have like a 42% acceptance rate at Cornell. </p>

<p>Any class listed which isn't honors doesn't have an honors option. </p>

<p>Rank: Top 10-15%</p>

<p>What would my chance at IVs be?</p>

<p>Bump please</p>

<p>Oh yeah, some AP Scores</p>

<p>AP Euro: 4
AP Comp Sci AB: 4</p>

<p>Expecting:
AP Physics: 5
AP Calc BC: 5
AP Chem: 5
AP US: 4/5</p>

<p>I should also say that our school is pretty awesome at getting kids into IVies/Top colleges. These are some of the admittance amounts from last year.
Princeton: 5
Yale: 3
Columbia: 2
UPENN: 6
Cornell: 22
Dartmouth: 8
Harvard: 4</p>

<p>And I guess the final point would be that I do have the toughest courseload in the school, with more APs than our Valedictorian and Salutatorian.</p>

<p>Bump please.</p>

<p>Also the college rates put up weren't all going rates, just admission. 22 people from our school did not go to Cornell, just got in.</p>

<p>How do you know your AP scores already because test are held in May</p>

<p>He said those were his expected scores.</p>

<p>Like I said, expected. The APs are pretty easy except for APUSH...</p>
