Hi everyone! I’m currently a junior at an excellent public school in upstate NY that was ranked last year by US News as a Top 30 high school nationwide. I’d like to get everyone’s opinion on my chances for Cornell, Georgetown, Brown, Dartmouth, McGill, and if they have any places they would recommend that I would get into. As I mentioned, I’m only in my junior year so a lot of things are still hypothetical but probable. Thanks to everyone for their input in advance.
GPA: 93.743% which translates into 4.0?
My school doesn’t rank, doesn’t have GPA on a 4.0 scale, and only calculates GPA through junior year and then sends first semester senior grades as a transcript not included in the GPA.
