<p>I have a 3.43, do I still have a chance at Princeton? or any ivy?</p>
<p>Are you an olympic athlete or do you live in abject poverty and took 18 AP classes online while supporting your family of 10 and curing cancer?</p>
<p>i think what suze is getting at is that is there a reason for the low gpa... or were you just lazy</p>
<p>I have the same GPA, and high test scores, etc. The answer is probably not.</p>
<p>If you have some super-God-this-is-awesome-crazy reason, then maybe. Otherwise, they have no reason to pick you and not the person that has everything you do except a better GPA.</p>
<p>If you have a 3.43, and you have to ask, then no.</p>
<p>Unless you did something along the lines of what suze said (no I'm not kidding), or you write amazing essays (those that get published in essay books), I would say that you have no chance at Princeton, and very little chance at any Ivy.</p>
<p>The good news is: there are good colleges besides HYPCDBPC (what a yummy acronym). Maybe consider talking to a counselor, or post your stats here and we'll try to come up with some good match schools for you.</p>
<p>no. 10 charr</p>
<p>any other stats?</p>
<p>Well, what if that is your GPA, except its so low only because of your freshmen year, and yet you were able to pull off 4.0 in Junior and Senior. In otherwords, do you still have a chance if its an upward trend? Possibly the only reason would be is that you actually started taking your education seriously at the end of freshmen year.</p>
<p>Maybe. UCs and maybe some other schools don't take a look at your freshmen year grades. But for most schools, if you got a bunch of Cs or something in your freshman year that will definitely hurt you.</p>
<p>Depends on other stats also, but with a gpa that low the chances will be slim to probably no</p>
