<p>First, just a quick question…how did you have an unweighted GPA of greater than a 4.0?
Beyond that, your resume looks fantastic. Excellent standardized test scores, excellent grades in a rigorous schedule with a very impressive rank, and also very well-rounded in terms of extracurriculars. As long as your top off your applications with strong recs and essays you should have no problem!</p>

<p>You have solid stats and extracurriculars. There is a slight downward trend in your gpa, but that is because you have progressively taken harder classes. I think you have as good of a chance as anyone.</p>
