dOEs GPA even matters?

<p>Just kidding,...-<em>- I know GPA matters alot,
I heard that kids go to HYP have ridiculously high GPA, like 3.9~4.0 or somethin...
Are those GPA averages
1. unweighted?(if it is, that's ********)-</em>-
2. average from 9~12th first semester ?</p>

<p>Does anyone have calculation method to get the average GPA?
like, you wouldn't just do
(9th+10th+11th+12th 1st sem)/4.5... do you?
cuz there are more emphasis on 11th ...</p>

<p>I got like 3.6 GPA on freshmen (unweighted)
and 3.98 GPA on sophomore yr(weighted) almost no advanced class
and probably 4.58 weighted on junior yr, and 4.7 on senior wiehgted</p>

<p>Do I have almost no chance to HYP just because of my crazy 9th and 10th
GPA?</p>

<ol>
<li>yes</li>
<li>yes (Princeton and Standford only count sophomore - first semester senior I believe, although most probably have 3.9-4.0 over entire highschool nonetheless)</li>
</ol>

<p>You gave us your UW freshman and W Sophomore/Junior/Senior. Its practically impossible to compare weighteds, so just give us all of your UWs. Also, your course load will be taken into account so keep that in mind.</p>

<p>The UW GPAs are most likely going to be a huge downfall in your application. So unless you have some type of extraordinary ability or skill, you don't have a really good shot.</p>

<p>how could you have a 4.7 weighted on a 4.6 scale ? <_<</p>

<p>what is a 4.6 scale?</p>

<p>My friend had
AP English
AP French Lit.
AP Calc AB
AP Stat
AP Bio
AP US H during his junior year and his weighted was 5.0 :(</p>
