I think you’ll get into a few of your reaches. Columbia is going to be pretty impossible with your GPA though.
McCombs is going to be really difficult for an international with your stats and EC’s.
Hey! I have a question concerning GPA. All my classes are IB so i get average A-s on all of them do the colleges not consider this? I mean if i’d known i’d have taken the easiest classes because then i’d have an easy 4.0 gpa. And last question: What do you think about my weighted gpa?
@StrarightBars They will consider the course rigor but that is a different factor. uwGPA is still a prime factor. For UMich, they consider both uwGPA and course rigor as most important, however, their definition of course rigor is more lenient. You don’t need to be all IB or AP to be considered most rigor.
