<p>sdfsdfdsfsdf
10 garasssssssss</p>

3

<p>? what is that? ^</p>

4

<p>Your unweighted is greater than your weighted GPA?</p>

5

<p>yeah ap and honors classes are 5, regulars are 4</p>

6

<p>congrats on your excellent credentials. I think you have a decent shot at any where you want to go.
Hey do you think you could chance me? I'm not getting any responses

<p>um...summer gym? lol why</p>

8

<p>its so the OP could make her GPA higher (unhindered by a non-weighted PE course over the course of the regular school year)</p>

<p>This is your WEIGHTED score... and I'm fairly sure that only APs count as 5's toward your weighted score. In your unweighted score, all classes with A's count as 4.</p>

10

<p>good numbers. decent ECs. however, nothing stands out.</p>

<p>reject by mit and caltehc--not enough math/science. HYPS are all "maybe"s. in at everywhere else you apply</p>

11

<p>I believe unweighted gpa is on a 4.0 scale whereas weighted gpa is on a 5.0 scale. So, you might have mistaken the two and switched them. Anyway, I think if you're school offers AP Physics you should take that rather than Physics hnrs. Even though they both might be weighted at your school, some schools, the UC's, I believe, do not count them as weighted. My old school (9-10) weighted honors, but my new school (11-12) after my transfer does not. Bummer...</p>

<p>Other than that, your stats seem great but the Ivies are really competitive to get into. Your other choices seem like a closer reach, even match. A 2370 on the SAT's is almost perfect! I only know 3 people that have gotten better than a 2360, and two of them I heard from word-of-mouth.</p>

12

<p>oh you have to take honors physics before ap physics, i don't even think we offer ap physics anymore, not enough people</p>

<p>ah sorry! i messed up unweighted and weighted :P</p>

<p>summer gym was so that i could take more classes during the school year</p>

13

<p>i want meh ap grades.... (and i don't mean paying for them)</p>

14

<p>Reject by HYP (might get into Y or P by luck)
in at the rest</p>
