<p>well, many colleges will recalculate your A- to a 3.7 instead of a 4.0 on their scale. I learned this today and it suprised me because i had to recalculate my UW GPA, and not it is lower, so was just asking to get an idea of how many highschools do this as well. I dunno, ur fine, good candidate fo sho :)</p>

<p>I think that's only if your in college, someone was telling me that but the site he went on to find this out was for people IN college already. I don't know for sure, that's just what I heard. Any more opinions?</p>

<p>bump bump bump.</p>

<p>bump........</p>

<p>wow, reaches, all of them? i thought they would be around like semi-reaches, if that even is a real thing, wow....I didn't know it was this far of a reach, i guess my over confidence kinda covered the truth....anymore opinions?</p>
