<p>For me, I have an unweighted GPA of 3.41 with all my classes included in this calculation. The problem is, my school weights its GPA on a 7 point scale. I have a 6.27 that way. I was trying to calculate my GPA on a 5 point scale by giving all honors/AP A's as 5 points and all honors/AP B's as 4 points. This ends up giving me an unweighted GPA of 3.41 and a weighted GPA of 4.22. I took all honors/AP classes all 3 years at my school. 5 9th grade, 7 10th grade, 6 11th grade. I did badly in 9th grade because I was out of school for 35 days with surgery (which my GC will mention separately). In 10th grade I was just dumb and loaded my self with too many classes. In 11th grade I got all A's and 1 B. The thing I'm finding strange, is that the posts on college data, the kids have UW GPA's of around 3.8 and then weighted GPA's of around 4.1. This is prob b/c they are taking less honors/AP classes but I just wanted to make sure I was calculating mine right. I am 99% sure I am but still wanted to check. </p>

<p>Some other things are:
SAT's: 740Cr, 720mth, 720wr- 2180</p>

<p>EC's are above average but I don't feel like writing all that out. I am a part of the Biomedical Research program for governors school this summer. </p>

<p>How are my chances at these schools?:</p>

<p>-Wake Forest
-Case Western
-Lehigh
-University of North carolina - chapel hill
-Boston College
-Vanderbilt
-CMU
-University of Rochester
-The College of NJ</p>

<p>Are you in state for UNC-CH?
It does seem as though your curriculum has been harder than most, so colleges ought to give you some break on your GPA. Have you taken any SATII or AP exams?
Your list looks reasonable to me.</p>

<p>I am out of state, so I agree UNC is a reach for me. My Bio SAT II is a 780 and US HIst is 700. AP is 5 for Bio and 4 for Hist.</p>

<p>I think you have as good a shot as anyone at Vanderbilt and Wake Forest (many people from my school get accepted here with similar stats as yours-a boot camp like course load but lower unweighted gpa) The only problem you'll have with UNC-Chapel Hill is that your out of state. Don't worry too much about your gpa, you took really challenging courses which is what matters the most.</p>
