What is your rank or what would you estimate. Also a 92 if you did a 4 for an A, 3 for B, what would your gpa be? Most schools will convert.

3

I’m guessing your unweighted gpa is lower than their average, and not having high test scores won’t help.

4

our school does not submit unweighted bc they only give 5 extra points for both honors and AP… people have applied ED from my school have gotten in w lower GPAs but you are right about the test scores, definitely a low point for sure. I appreciate your reply!!

Our school does not rank so I am not sure…Also, I’m sorry idk what you mean about the GPA conversion could you please explain it? Thank you!!

6

Also, would applying ED help a bit in that case?

7

An A =4.0. B= 3.0

Is a 90 an A. Or 95 an A etc.

8

For our school, a 94 is considered a 4.0 and a 92.6 is around a 3.86

From my perspective, you are WAY above what you are giving yourself credit for. I’d be very surprised if you didn’t get in and abt the test scores I’ve noticed that while they certainly do prefer it if you submit scores, it def won’t hurt to not submit and I’ve seen a lot of test-optional people get in ivies with similar statistics and even worse extracurriculars if I’m being honest. Well done!

Interesting. BU is comparable. The average ACT is 34. But you look at the fine print. Only 42% submitted.

Certainly a reasonable chance ED. Not assured but certainly in range.

For CS your level of math will matter.
