<p>So Here Are My Stats! As a rising senior, I was hoping you CCers can help me in deciding on a good school to apply ED to. I would really like to go to Swarthmore/JHU but my dismal gpa is the BIGGEST obstacle at all the schools. </p>

-State = CA
- Weighted GPA : 4.0/4.1 UW : 3.4 [still in top 10-12%]
- Course Rigor [Pretty much to maximum rigor at my school], 2 APs sophomore, 4 APs junior, All other classes were honors, Also self studied for 2 APs junior year
SENIOR YEAR: 4 APs, 2 regular classes
- AP scores: 4 on euro, pretty sure got 4-5s on the ones junior year....probably 3 in chem though
