While I’d like to see a higher ACT, I think you have a very good shot: 1st Gen URM with great stats…

Okay thank you, maybe I’ll take it again. I still have a few months. Do you know how to get my GPA on a 4.0 scale?

5

That is the million dollar question! Each college does it different. Do you have any individual grades under 93? Some schools see 90-100 as 4.0, 80-89 as 3.0, Others see 93-100 as 4.0, 89-92 as 3.7.

Basically you convert each grade separately, then add and average.

ps, ask your GC about taking again. You dont want to waste time if she thinks it unneccessary!

Yeah I have 2 grades under 93 in my entire high school career. But they were still above 90. And I will, thanks for the help

then Id say it is probably a 3.9 or a 4.0 depending on which scale. Both very good!
