Chances at Top 20 with Low GPA and High Test Scores?

<p>Being a junior, I'm getting pretty worried about college admissions. I have a pretty low GPA at a 4.28 weighted and a 3.66 weighted. I've taken the hardest coarse load possible and i go to a pretty competitive public school where there is no grade inflation whatsoever and having this gpa does put me in the top 5%. I don't have outstanding ec's, although I can guarantee above outstanding recommendations due to the fact that all my teachers next year will be teachers i've known well since freshman year and are pretty fond of me. I have an ACT score of 33, although I did retake it and am expecting a 34 or higher, and I have an 800 on both the Physics and Math 2 SAT subject tests. Based on this, where does this place me for top universities? </p>

<p>Thanks in advaance! </p>

<p>All I can say is: work on your ECs… Top 5% is pretty good, but try to get up to the top 1%. Great SAT IIs.</p>

<p>If you improve your grades & show passion in whatever few ECs you might have (I’m sure you’ve committed to SOMETHING consistently over the years), I would say you have a decent shot at the “Top 20”. By the way, you really should be narrowing down the list and finding some matches and safeties you love. A Top 20 spot on a US News list doesn’t mean you’ll love the school.</p>

<p>You have to clarify your post. If your weighted GPA is 3.66 and ACT is 33, Boy, You have lot of work to do. Please explain.</p>

<p>I think he mean’t the 3.66 as an UNweighted, just a typo in my opinion.</p>
