<p>3.8125 huh? W&L will never even look at you without a 3.825575.</p>

3

<p>if you're only a junior, stop worrying about it until next year. also, IB is worthless.</p>

<p>Good God IB is worthless.</p>

<p>You have a perfect profile for W & L. If you have visited and like it there, apply ED. They admit almost 1/2 of their next freshman class that way. My son is a rising junior, and loves it there. He's not Greek either. Great social life, and unparalled academics.</p>

<p>hey california-</p>

<p>I'm going to be a freshman at W&L this fall ( I actually leave on saturday!), but I think your chances look pretty good right now.</p>

<p>also, ib isn't worthless. it's hard work, and it got me into some good schools, including W&L. keep doing what you're doing, stay involved in extra-curriculars, and keep up the academic performance.</p>

<p>best of luck.</p>
