please?? :) i would be very thankful !!</p>

3

<p>GPA? but so far it looks decent, especially since you are a URM. Man, I hate URMs.... You people have it so good. If only I was URM.</p>

4

<p>loll.. my GPA is 4.2 - no idea about unweighted - but it is sooo inflated. I usually make low As, some high As and ALWAYS one B ... but only one B (never had more!)</p>

5

<p>Are you applying ED to any schools?</p>

6

<p>No... one of my biggest factors in choosing a school is its cost. Therefore, no applying ED for me.</p>

7

<p>good point...</p>

<p>If you are worried about cost..I think that you would get a lot of money if you go to UT. Then you can transfer to another school if you wish.</p>

8

<p>yeah.. i am 99% sure that I will end up in UT, unless I get extremely lucky. this college admissions thing feels like a lotery to me. should i even waste my money with most of these colleges? I am seriously tempted to just apply to UT...</p>
