I’d be going for Genetics major, and I’m out of state for all.
I will be applying EA to UNC.
3.77U/W GPA, and 3.96 weighted GPA on a 4.4 scale (AP and Honors coursework is weighted x1.1), WGPA Calculated normally is about 4.12
I did have a slight negative grade trend, but I was taking up harder coursework and there were other personal reasons.
