nobody has a “good” chance at these schools. you’ve tried hard in high school, so just apply and see what happens. i am in a similar boat as far as gpa and test scores.

5

stress your socioeconomic status. try questbridge unless it’s already too late

6

Don’t you have to put your weighted cumulative GPA on the common app? I never heard of choosing between U and UW GPA.

7

Are you still a junior? Why are your weighted and unweighted gpa’s so similar? Have you taken the hardest schedule at your school? Do you have any AP scores?

@ayyyyyyy I’m actually not sure! I’ll probably ask my counselor today. @Falcon1 No, I’m a senior. I’ve taken 3 AP classes my junior year, and I’m taking 4 this year. My weighted is probably so low because my school does not offer AP classes for freshman and sophomore year. @andrewmcdona Thanks! I just wanted to know if I’m in the running. @Oberyn Thanks! Sadly, Questbridge is too late for me.
