<p>I was just wondering what my chances of getting in were, I plan to apply ED.</p>

<p>Intended major= Finance in the Olin business school</p>

<p>My biggest problem is a really low GPA(3.23 unweighted 3.7 weighted) I go to a really hard prep school. There are 42 kids in my class. </p>

<p>I have a 2360 on the SAT (perfect 1600 in reading and math) and 790 US hist, 750 lit, 740 Math II SAT II scores. I also made a 226 on the PSAT.</p>

<p>I have 400+ hours of community service and various leadership things.</p>

<p>Do i have any hope of getting into this school? Im really worried about my GPA.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>How does that GPA compare to the rest of your class?</p>

<p>This is exactly the reason for standardized tests like the SATs. Each school is different. Teachers grade differently too. Since your SATs are so strong, you shouldn’t have any problem getting in.</p>

<p>As others said, it depends on your school. I went to a really small school myself (~same number of students), but a 3.23 wouldn’t have a chance at getting in to a top school.</p>

<p>Here’s the key: if in the past, students with your gpa get into top schools, it shouldn’t be a problem.</p>

<p>Your guidance counselor should know the track record of college placement out of your school far better than we will.</p>
