<p>you'll get in. What high school are you from. I'm from florida as well.</p>

3

<p>3.9/3.7 ? how is that possible</p>

4

<p>3.9 weighted... 3.7 unweighted</p>

5

<p>actually idk, your numbers are really good, but i dont see something tht you have REALLY focused on. you kind of sound like one of those kids who goes to each table and signs up to be in the club</p>

<p>but i think you have a fairly decent shot, yea</p>

6

<p>there's no need to list the clubs that you were only in for a year or two. AO's want students who focus on specific interests. other than that, you stand a great chance.</p>
