<p>Okay, explain the 4.2 GPA (is this weighted, does you school rank on a 4.5 scale?, a 5.0 scale?--the point is no one can chance you if we don't understand what you are telling us here)--thanks.</p>

3

<p>Also could you explain: Boys' varsity soccer substitute - 1 year</p>

<p>aren't you a girl?</p>

<p>...</p>

4

<p>My GPA is weighted on a 5.0 scale, I believe. Yes, I'm a girl, but I had to play soccer for the boys because they would've had to forfeit the game otherwise. I told you our school was small - if a player can't make it to the game, the coaches get desperate.</p>

5

<p>Correction - my cumulative GPA for this year is actually a 4.1. For all years, it is 3.86. Sorry for the confusion!</p>

6

<p>because conn college requires the sat-2s, those low scores will hurt you.</p>

<p>I'm going to resurrect this thread. I ended up getting a 4 on the AP exam for U.S. History. Does this help at all? I really need some feedback.
Here are a few more schools on the list:
Willamette
Brandeis
BC
University of Puget Sound</p>
