<p>Your high GPA will carry 2/3s of the decision but the lower test scores buts you right on the border I think you will get in but it can’t hurt to try and increase those test scores.</p>

<p>You are in. Looks like your school has high grade inflation.</p>

4

<p>how is your weighted GPA lower than your unweighted GPA? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?</p>

5

<p>I didnt even notice that…I am going to say its a typo?</p>

<p>My bad! I typed it the wrong way! Thanks for pointing that out!</p>

<p>if you could get your SAT score up 100-150 points or so you’ll be fine</p>

<p>Good to know. Thank you everyone! If anyone else has more comments, please feel free to share!</p>

<p>Its always great to increase the scores, especially the writing score up to 620 so that you will be placed in a higher level English class but you should get in with the score you have now.</p>

<p>Thank you! I am taking them again soon so I guess we will see!</p>

<p>You’ll probably get in. Get good recommendations also. Hopefully it works out for you. i got a 1640 on my sat (1680 super score) and i had 4 AP classes, physics B, calc 1, statistis and US govt.I transfer to high school in american and stated junior year here. Got all A’s one B and one C for my last 2 years of high school. I was active in a couple of clubs. I got in for engineering. You probably can get in too. Good luck</p>

<p>Looks good bu I think you should take the SAT’s again! I had similar stats with SAT scores of 1660 and retook it and went up 110 points.</p>

<p>I know a girl who got in with a 3.5 and 1600/2400 SAT but she got put into summer session (later got out of it after begging over the phone). You surely have a chance.</p>
