<p>Your unweighted GPA is a little disconcerting. In addition, though your standardized test scores are a pretty good match for any one of these schools, your ECs I'm afraid are not quite there yet. But you still have a chance depending on whether they feel you are a good addition to their next freshman class.</p>

<p>ummm I kinda disagree with Davie.....
His EC are top-notch; I've participated in more but I'm sure there are students who got into the ivys with less EC</p>

<p>&& umm according to un weighted average....3.5-3.6 is alright 2 me.....not dat i would ever settle 4 dat but still.</p>

<p>at our school the grading system is such that 91=3.1, 92=3.2, 93=3.3, etc
