Chances of getting in?

<ul>
<li>in state student</li>
<li>1780 sat superscore</li>
<li>gpa: 4.5 weighted; 3.4 unweighted</li>
<li>rank: 16th percentile</li>
<li>lots of extracurricular stuff</li>
<li>egyptian immigrant fluent in a foreign language (diversity?)</li>
</ul>

<p>Umm, I say you have a 70% shot of getting in.</p>

<p>16th percentile? Is that what you mean to say? That would mean your rank is higher than 16% of your class. So if you had 100 people in your class you would be #84.</p>

<p>Your unweighted is a bit low, SATs could be a bit better, and your weighted is borderline (the average incoming freshman from last year came in with a weighted of 4.47); so I’d say maybe. Have you already applied?</p>

<p>I GOT ACCEPTED!!</p>

<p>i know i got very lucky because i was borderline getting deferred/denied.i think ethnic background/diversity plays a big role. even though i put white, i think the only reason they decided to accept me was because i’m from a foreign country and speak a foreign language.</p>

<p>and i meant top 16 percent.</p>

<p>i’m also in-state.</p>
