<p>Yeah, too late to do anything about the GPA. As I said, my schools pretty heavily skewed though, we're a school within a school(the honors/vanguard part), and we rank separately, so while in actuality we're closer to the top 10% of the school as a whole, we get pretty screwed in that regard. </p>

<p>I'd be applying to economics or political science. I'm also applying to Haverford, Princeton, Claremont McKenna, University of Chicago, Columbia, Boston University, and tulane.(some of those may drop off the list)</p>

<p>my bad, it's a 3.85weighted, a 3.4-3.5 unweighted. I typoed on the original post.</p>
