<p>Thanks to all of those who took the time to read my blocks of text =)</p>
<p>Well my class has 212 people and on our secondary school report my gpa falls within the top 30% of students. However, I have found that many of the students that have a higher rank than me take all CP or a mix of CP and honors classes. I dont really think its fair for those kids who take the easiest classes offered to be of a higher rank than a student who takes the hardest classes the school offers. =(</p>
<p>The school profile that the GC sends to the colleges should help with this issue. UVA understands perfectly well that a 4.0 with no AP's is different than a 4.0 with AP's. They will take it into account and evaluate your rank.</p>
<p>lol shai is just a friend from school being a jerk =p but i only took 1 AP in junior year because i ended up dropping AP US history. the teacher assigned a summer assignment that i didnt completely understand, so i emailed him during the summer. He never answered me, and since the summer assignment is a huge chunk of the first quarter grade, i decided to drop the class so i wouldnt get killed the first marking period ><</p>
<p>my older brother had a Lower SAT, not very good ECs and he got in out of state as a legacy. However, his GPA was significantly higher than yours. I think you have a shot, but i hesitate to say guaranteed.</p>
<p>true, ur lack of AP’s will certainly be disheartening and hurt you. OOS hurts too even if ur a legacy. Ur stats are pretty borderline at bottom 25% area. Idk, OOS could get you in, IMO good chance, match-high match</p>
<p>i dont know what you’re talking about, devilman.
i don’t know you at all. i just think you will never get into UVA. your grades just aren’t good enough, and you’ll never pass AP Calculus.</p>
<p>I had forgotten about this thread for a while. Devilman, how you holding up waiting for UVA? I wish I could see your face when you get that letter, but considering I’ve NEVER met you before, that would be impossible…
cate27, you sound fabulous, let’s be best friends.</p>
