I am a rising senior, white, female, my weighted GPA is a 4.81 and so far I've taken 3 APs (ap us history, ap euro, and ap language and composition) and gotten 5s on all of them. What's lacking is my standardized tests. The only ones above 700 are a 730 in molecular biology (from ninth grade) and a 710 in math level 1.
My highest sat score is a 2140 (superscore: 2170) and my 1600 score is a 1420. (retaking either subject or regular in October)
I've also taken the act and got a 31 but I'm retaking that in October.

<p>What’s your unweighted GPA? Planned major? Why didn’t you take Math II?</p>

<p>@topaz1116‌ I don’t know my unweighted GPA the highest you can get for a one year class is 5.5 but there are many required classes that the highest you can get is a 4.5. I think the highest possible is about a 5.2 overall but I would have to ask my counselor what my unweighted GPA is sorry :frowning: My planned major is biology or textile design and I didn’t take Math II because I made a bad decision…</p>

<p>Finding your UW GPA is easy if you know what grades you got in a class. Just give yourself 4 points for an A or A-, 3 points for anything in the B range, 2 points for a C, 1 point for a D, and 0 points for an F. Then divide that by the number of classes you gave yourself points for.</p>

<p>If you can take Math II in the fall, do it. It looks much, much better on college apps, and most elite colleges require or prefer that you take Math II as one of your subject tests.</p>

<p>You seem to be putting a lot of stress on a school that isn’t even an ED school. So if this is truly your number one choice, I’d give ED a good thought. If you apply RD, I can tell you that there are more people better qualified than you, but this is not to say you won’t get in. I think if you raise your ACT to a 33 or 34 your chances will dramatically increase. I’d also say forget the SAT because to subject tests need to be raised to at least 750+ especially biology if it’s your intended major. Also, if you feel comfortable, I fully encourage you to take the Math Level 2 test since most applicants with a math SAT will have taken level 2. Good luck!!</p>
