<p>May I just ask how your Weighted GPA is so low despite the 8 AP’s or so and 10 or so honors classes you took? Or were your AP’s just tests you took?</p>

3

<p>Id say definitely good to go at the Michigan schools although Ross preferred admit isnt guaranteed. Fair chances at Northwestern, Gtown, Duke. Unlikely at Wharton or Yale, no awe inspiring hook.</p>

4

<p>Really smart! Love your Leadership Skills. As for a 4.2gpa, I’m uncertain for the Yale/Ivy Leagues. It just depends though. Your rigor of courses probably affected your GPA, but you’re an outstanding person. Good luck!</p>

5

<p>ctguy did a good analysis. Stats also low for W and Y.</p>

6

<p>Good chance at all, ctguy is more or less correct, but I would say that you do have pretty “fair” chances at Wharton and Yale, obviously on a different level from Northwestern, georgetown, and Duke, but your raw numbers are pretty impressive and your ECs are solid, if a bit boring.</p>

<p>As for the ppl talking about a 4.2 gpa being “low”, you assume that the weighting is +1 or something when it could be +.3. Either way, look at her class rank!</p>

<p>I have no idea about that 4.2. My school does cumulative weird I suppose? And 5 FULL YEAR AP’s will be done this year. As for the one’s last year, only 3 were full year and 2 were half year. I suppose? I have no idea to be honest–I wish I had an answer :confused: </p>

<p>But thank you to everyone for your insight!</p>

<p>Wow. Id say you are an very competitive student.
I am a senior in college and hope for the best that I can get into Ross BS MAcc program.
Previously I was confident that I had a decent chance to get in. But after I read your profile , I really start doubting that. And on the other hand, if I do get in, I will be thrilled to be schoolfellows with smart students like you.
Best wishes to you.</p>
