weighted gpa is like 4.35 and I am rightnear the top 10% mark of my class. My counselor sent a note with my transcript explaining that none of my honors or ap level courses could transfer from my old school. </p>

<p>Sorry this is poorly formatted. I may have forgotten some stuff. Please chance me for:</p>

duke
virginia tech
MIT
harvard
appalatchian state
and if possible the Robinson scholarship to duke or chapple hill. </p>

<p>By the way, I live in NC.</p>

<p>I think there are some schools - Princeton for one - that do not even look at Freshman year grades. May be something of interest for you?</p>

<p>Otherwise, I think the NC Resident should bode well with Duke.</p>

3

<p>Yeah, I know Princeton doesn’t, as I visited there unfortunately my parents did not like it and would not help me pay for it. Thank you very much though.</p>

4

<p>Ok, in doing the math I calculated that my uw gpa will be closer to 3.6 or 3.65. Will this hurt me significantly more?</p>

5

<p>its spelled: Chapel Hill. make sure when you apply you spell it right.</p>

<p>other than that i think you are a very competitive applicant for all the schools</p>

6

<p>Are you below top 10%?</p>

<p>What did your parents dislike about Princeton?</p>

7

<p>Well-rounded applicant but a lack of any extraordinary metrics and achievements means that Harvard and MIT are out of reach, Duke is a mid-to-high reach and you’re in at the rest.</p>

<p>And it’s important that you make sure exactly what your rank is; what does “rightnear the top 10% mark” mean?</p>

8

<p>That means that right now I’m at about the 11 or 12% mark, but after this semesters grades will be either just within the top 10% mark or just out of it. My exact rank will be provided. My parents weren’t overly impressed with the atmosphere, and didn’t like that I would graduate with a ba instead of a bs.</p>

<p>UNC-CH good match
Duke - reach
MIT - high reach
Harvard - high reach
App and VT - in easily </p>

<p>UNC is definitely in your range, but I think with everything Duke looks like a possible match too although with higher level schools like Duke, MIT, ect. it’s almost impossible to guess. Robertson is really difficult too but with UNC you look like a potential candidate.</p>
