Do you think I can?

<p>I haven't finished my junior year yet,
but i think i have a pretty good idea about what my GPA will be
when I apply for colleges. I think Princeton will be my first choice for ED.
My unweighted GPA will probably be 3.79.</p>

<p>school is 22nd or 25th in the nation according to Newsweek (yes i know the ranking is not accurate...)</p>

<p>grading scale
94-100 A
90-93 B+
84-89 B</p>

<p>school adds .5 only for ap courses as weighted grades.
then it will be about 3.9</p>

<p>only considering GPA for now, do you think i have a shot at Princeton?</p>

<p>I'd appreciate it if you replied!!
Princeton has been and still is my dream school.
I just want to know.
Thanks</p>

<p>it's too hard to even guess from such limited information. one would have to know what classes you got your non-A's in, and what class rank your GPA represents so it can be put into better context. just keep working hard and don't give up the dream.</p>

<p>thank you so much!
non As.
AP Chem
AP Eng
AP USH</p>

<p>AP chem is mostly my fault, couldn't pitch in enough time b/c of ECs...
AP eng... sigh... eng is not my 1st lang and i came here like 4 years ago.. shouldn't have taken it...
AP USH, actually one of the hardest AP courses offered. handful As in the whole course, counselors acknowledged this challenging course.</p>

<p>school doesn't rank
but hopefully top 10% (very likely)</p>

<p>Okay...we need rank, ecs, gpa, sats, sat iis AND a anything else you can tell to help us.</p>

<p>wat is ecs?</p>

7

<p>ecs=extracurricular activites</p>

<p>ECs...</p>

<p>this is so pointless. Adcoms dont decide on just your academics.</p>

<p>i know that! :)
of course, as an Ivy, Princeton will see other factors too,
but I just wanted to know because my GPA is not that good...
thanks for the replies</p>
