Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): W 4.46/ UW 3.77

<p>To be completely honest, I think everything but the SAT scores look great! :slight_smile: Plus, the Subject Test scores are good too! :slight_smile: There are definitely some bright spots! :slight_smile: Hey, if you got a moment, check out my chance thread for Dartmouth: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/dartmouth-college/1022653-adcom-would-you-accept-me.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/dartmouth-college/1022653-adcom-would-you-accept-me.html&lt;/a&gt; It’s for ED as well :)</p>

<p>^ I wonder how many smileys one can use in a post before it looks silly…</p>

<p>(I jest)</p>

<p>Thanks for the light commentary. Amidst all the competitiveness of the ivies, I’m glad people there/ applying there are still just plain nice.</p>

<p>Only a could days away before the big decision. Can hardly wait!</p>

<p>i agree with pranam0. aside from your sat scores, you seem to have what they’re looking for. let’s hope that they care about more than just a grade on one silly test. (I’m in a similar predicament as well) </p>

<p>four more days!</p>

<p>You didn’t waste your money, but your chances for admission are low.</p>
