probably some minor stuff i'm leaving out</p>

<p>if youre still feeling lazy... ( Notre Dame, Northwestern, WashU)</p>

<p>i'm assuming the 3.8 is your weighted gpa, and that seems to be the only questionable factor. you have great test scores/ECs but wash u, northwestern and notre dame usually want more around a 4.5 gpa. definitly apply to them, but make sure you have some safeties (maybe IU). also check out u madison- great school and i think it'd be a match for you. also, the schools will most likely understand that your HS only offered 1 ap and the fact that you took it shows you took the hardest sched. good luck!</p>

<p>no, the 3,8 is unweighted</p>

<p>how come you have a good gpa (3.8) and it is only top 25% in your school? Because that really is your problem. Explanation?? One reason might be the school is very competitive, but if only one AP is offered that doesn't sound too competitive...</p>

<p>English was the only AP class I could test in before applying anywhere.</p>

<p>They offer AP Calculus, which I'm now in, but the AP test is at the end of the year.</p>

<p>My class is competitive, but the real reason I think my GPA is that way is because they don't weigh GPA's, and to get an A you have to have a 96% in the class. Finals are not exemptable. If it was weighted, and then unweighted, I'd probably have like a 3.9 and be ranked in the top 5-10%.</p>

<p>Since you seem like an athletic person, you should consider Dartmouth.</p>
