<p>question, im not familiar with the numerical, %, grading system.</p>

<p>is it the mean of your average in every class? or are %'s assigned based on grades?</p>

3

<p>We earn percentage grades in each class based on points earned out of points possible and these percentages are then averaged to calcuate GPA. Also the only weighted classes are APs. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>im no expert, im a junior too, but you look solid. just make sure you have strong EC's and id say you have a good shot. but given the unpredictability of the ivy league admissions offices, there's no way of giving you a yes or no answer.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help</p>
