<p>Your stats look decent and a little similar to my son's. He is also from PA and a sophomore at Lehigh, in the engineering department.<br>
Just wondering, are you from Perk Valley and aren't you given extra points for AP classes - since you listed 4.0 as max?
Is Lehigh your first choice?</p>

<p>i live in the methacton school district and pretty close to perk valley. In fact, i live on one side of the bridge and on the other side is perk valley. However, methacton does GPA on a 100-point scale, and the grade you recieve in an AP classes are weighted by 1.2, (84 = 100.8 when calculated into GPA). In addition, AP classes in science are weighted more heavily in the GPA calculation, since they are worth more than the usual 1 credit, usually 1.3 credits. Honors classes are given no percent weight, but science honors classes are factored in more heavily since they are worth more credits, usually 1.1. I can only do an estimate to a 4.0 scale, as each school is different, but from what i have heard about methacton from my guidance counselor, my GPA is hovering around a 3.6</p>
