<p>gwu = probably in
for all the ivies you have a better chance than most other applicants.</p>

<p>Borderline reject at Harvard at this point. </p>

<p>Note: the following comments are based relative to other Harvard applicants--not relative to general students. </p>

<p>Your grades are not so great if you've already taken 5 year-long AP courses. In theory, you could be at the 4.2 to 4.3 GPA level by now. Also 2270 is low for Harvard (check the Stats profile if you don't believe me). Getting a 1590 is great, though (why so relatively poor on the Writing section?)</p>

<p>Your ECs are great, though. If you get that Intel/Siemens finalist award, then your odds go way up.</p>

<p>Lastly, it should be noted that the Ivies go by rank, not by GPA--and you did not give us your rank (for example, say 3rd out of a class of 350).</p>

<p>Right now:</p>

<p>Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Stanford--rejections
Columbia/Dartmouth--borderline acceptances/possible rejections (more likely to be accepted--barely)
Brown--likely acceptance
George Washington--definite acceptance</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>P.S. Keep in mind I'm making comments relative to other Harvard applicants. If you want to compare to the average student, then you are WAY above average as indicated by my rating you as an acceptance at everyplace except HYPS.</p>

<p>yeah the highest GPA in my school is liek a 4.3. APs are weighted the same as honors. we don't rank.</p>

<p>we convert our GPA to out of 100...</p>

<p>the highest you can get is (4.25 = 100) 100, i have a 98. 4.0 = 97.5.</p>

<p>they let you get above 4.25, but not above 100.</p>

<p>i think you'll probably get in to dartmouth and maybe columbia for the ivies. calcruzer's assessment is quite fair, i believe. chances for HYP acceptances will be increased based on your region and race. you are a great candidate but i still think you might need a push like this to be a sure bet. but best of luck, t here really is no telling with these schools! they're looking for very specific components in their class and it could very well be you they want!</p>
