<p>cool thanks for posting</p>

63

<p>Sounds like a great school, is amity public or private? I wish my public school was of that caliber.</p>

65

<p>This school must have a connection with Boston University and NYU.</p>

66

<p>The stats actually start on pg 5 of the above link</p>

67

<p>Amity is public...
another interesting resource</p>

<p>QPA is like a weighted GPA, except it is out of 20. (Our GPA is unweighted). A 20 would be "A+" in an honors class, 19 "A", 18 "A-", etc. An "A+" in level 1 would be 18 points, "A" 17, "A-" 16, etc. An "A+" in Level 2 or Level E is 16, etc. As the levels go down, the grades shift by two points. The highest in our class was 18.3 ish. The top 5 % was 17 and above. I hope this helps...</p>

<p>Also, Dr. Brady is a pretty neat guy. He seems to be a good match for us.</p>

<p>And in response to the 2.5 applying to Yale, keep in mind we are in Yale's backyard. Things like this happen...connections, etc.</p>

<p>exphysio,
Thank you for posting. I was wondering, for uw gpa, is a 3.0 an 80 or an 85? Or what are the grades for B-, B, B+, etc.? Also, does your gpa include all hs classes, or just solids? Thanks</p>

71

<p>wow my school is nowhere near as competitive as any of these =/</p>

72

<p>What do you mean by solids? pretty sure all courses...
Amity uses A+ (97-100, 4.0), A(93-96, 4.0), A-(90-92, 3.7), B+(87-89, 3.3), B(83-86, 3.0), B-(80-82, 2.7), etc...</p>

73

<p>bump bump bump</p>

74

<p>My school has a thing similar to that as well...
All GPAs are weighted

The school is Ridge High School in Basking Ridge, NJ
It seems a lot like Amity... Around the same SAT average and the same percentage of whites... hehe. I believe it is 92% as well... Also the rest 8% is about 6% asian</p>

75

<p>hopkinslax, thanks for putting this out there.</p>

76

<p>I still don't understand why a kid with a 2.46 GPA and 1060 SATs applied to UPenn...guess that sort of dispells the myth that everyone who applies to Ivies is qualified.</p>

77

<p>This is really helpfull. Thanks</p>

<p>BTW now im going to apply ED to U. Chicago after seeing this lol.</p>

78

<p>eireann, I go to E.O too, but sophmore year.</p>
