<p>****add carnegie mellon, columbia, and cornell
(for engineering)
on the list...</p>

<p>thanks</p>

3

<p>are u applying this yr?</p>

<p>because you are too late for cornell</p>

4

<p>no i already sent in my apps for cornell, columbia, carnegie mellon, and rose-hulman</p>

<p>yeah i got it before the deadline</p>

<p>I think you have great chances of getting in the schools you have applied to :)!
However, Columbia and Cooper Union might be slightly reach schools for you.
And you should be likely to get into Cornell and Carnegie Mellon.
GOOD LUCK!</p>

<p>How do you end up with a 4.9 Weighted but a 3.8 UW GPA? These can only be 1 point apart unless your school has some weird type of grading scale.</p>

7

<p>well...in my school</p>

<p>for weighted
AP - A = 6 points
Honors - A = 5 points
Regular - A = 4 points</p>

<p>for unweighted
AP/Honors/Regular ... A = 4 points, B = 3 points, etc.</p>

<p>let's say you have 7 AP classes and 1 honors class, and you get 2 B's (AP classes)...for this year....
unweighted = (4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 3)/8 = 3.75
weighted = (6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 5 + 5 + 5)/8 = 5.625</p>

<p>that's how it works in this school system...did that make sense?</p>

<p>and thanks dh0924, i hope i have decent chances.</p>

<p>i noticed that cooper union's accept rate is about 11%, but i think that the reason as to why it is so high is because of the HUGE amounts of art applicants (the art school's accept rate is around 5%, i believe). for engineering, they accept about 175 of 800 applicants (22% accept rate). this is what i got from their website.</p>

<p>bumper sticker........</p>

<p>i think you are in at mudd...mostly because you have relatively good stats and you are a female. mudd loves females...</p>
