I know my odds are not the greatest, but I currently have a 3.85 weighted GPA, that has improved every year since my freshman year. My school does not use an unweighted GPA, but it is around a 3.4. My course load is very rigorous and has also gotten progressively harder every year. I had a bad second semester junior year due to my parents separation (Only 1 C+, Most were B’s), but I followed it up with a weighted 4.53 this semester during senior year while taking 4 AP Classes. I am in the Top 30% of my class. I plan on studying Finance at Stern. I also sent my midyear report to NYU.
