<p>I am a caucasian female from a prestigious private school in Alabama.</p>

<p>I am currently a junior with a 3.98 weighted GPA and 89.4 average (as of the end of sophomore year). </p>

<p>I made a 5 on the AP Psychology Examination as a sophomore, and plan on taking the AP American Literature, AP US History, and AP Chemistry exams this spring. Besides that, I am currently enrolled in all honors classes. I have also take Latin through Level 3 and plan on continuing with Greek next year. </p>

<p>Of course I can’t say for certain, but the admissions office definitely takes into account more difficult classes. If you are in honors classes and do well on AP exams you should be a very strong applicant even with an 89.4 average GPA. Your extra curricular activities of course help.</p>

<p>Sewanee doesn’t recalculate GPA and they do superscore both the SAT and ACT. So assuming your transcript has your weighted GPA on it, that’s the # they’ll use. My daughter was accepted with similar stats, a little higher u/w GPA, but otherwise fairly similar. She did EA. I think you have a fair chance if you do EA. I can’t say for sure though, just going off of the kids that were admitted from D’s school. Good luck.</p>
