<p>How do you have unweighted GPA of 4.02? That makes no sense. </p>
<p>Your school nominates two (if that hasn’t changed). My year had an unusually high number of ivy leaguers from local schools in my area. Same could be the case for you, and if so you will be competing against future ivy leaguers. What you have (if you’re not recruited, that is) is more similar to a typical ivy applicant than an ivy student. I’m not sure that that would be enough to pull you ahead against others at least on your level that will be your competition.</p>
<p>SAT scores are low. I’m not sure what to say about your GPA given that you don’t seem to clearly know what unweighted is. Weighted GPA screws around with so many things that typically it’s not taken seriously.</p>
<p>There are also interviews. If you answer interviews like what you wrote up there, you’re also almost guaranteed to not get anything. So be wary of what you say.</p>
