<p>I hope that you got the Mario Party allusion; if not, don't worry about it.</p>

<p>Anyway, my top school is currently UPenn and I'll probably apply there ED. My school had 4 kids admitted there this year, in fact it seems we send a lot of kids there.</p>

<p>I took the ACTs yesterday (I probably got a 33, one point higher than last time), and SAT II's last weekend...just an FYI Penn's ACT range is 31-34 so hopefully the 33 will look good...if not, the 1460 isn't too bad either...without any further ado, my Stats Profile!</p>

<p>With that unweighted GPA, not even a community college will take you.</p>

<p>… you might want to proof read next time ;)</p>

<p>BM, I just didn’t fill it out because I’m not entirely sure what it is…if it helps, my rigor of schedule is pretty extreme, i’m in all honors this year except for Pre-Calc (only in A-level), I took AP exams in US history and english language (prolly got a 4 and 5), and I’m taking AP Spanish, Euro, Enviro, Macro/Micro, and Lit next year.</p>

4

<p>rigor doesn’t matter thats only for weighted GPA can you post your grades throughout your high schools career or something because UW GPA is important.</p>

5

<p>My grades were straight A’s for the semester (varies between A-, A, and A+, but there were more A’s/A+ than A-) in every class except for Geometry Honors as a freshman, a B+ in Alg II Honors, and a B- in Pre calc honors…</p>

6

<p>so you have gotten 6 a’s and 1 b every year in high school? If so, then I believe your UW GPA is around 3.85</p>

7

<p>BB:</p>

<p>My school has a scale where an A+=4.33, A=4, A-=3.67, etc…for unweighted GPA (weighted you just add a full one point)…unweighted i’m prolly around a 4.10</p>

8

<p>any other thoughts?</p>

9

<p>It’s impossible to have a 4.1 UW GPA; the highest possible is 4.0</p>

<p>BB:
I put my schools scale above. It is perfectly possible to have above 4.0 unweighted in my school. Any other opinions? I’m looking to strengthen my resume…</p>
