Good weighted GPA, bad UW GPA

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I was wondering how my profile would appear to colleges I apply to. My unweighted GPA is less-than-average but weighted it is above a 4.0. I'd consider my schedule so far to be pretty rigorous. I also did pretty well on my ACT. Here are my full stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.45 unweighted, 4.05 weighted</p>

<p>ACT: 33 composite (34 math, 34 English, 33 reading, 29 science, 31 E/W combined, 8 writing)</p>

<p>Class rank: I'm not sure if my school ranks but so far no information on class rank has been given to us. If I had to guess I'd say Top 15% but I'm really not sure.</p>

<p>Course load: I've only take one AP class (Computer Science) but didn't take the exam. However, by the time I graduate I'll have taken 10+ IB classes. The majority of my classes have been .4 with a few .3s and one or two .2s (required credits).</p>

<p>ECs: This is probably the weakest part of my transcript. I have played on 3 freshman sports teams, 4 JV teams ( I played JV baseball twice), 1 varsity, and will most likely play 2 varsity sports next year. I am lacking any major non-athletic leadership positions. I'm looking to join a well-ranked BPA club next year and possibly DECA if I can do both. This year I participated in a competition for JA Titan, a business simulation for Junior Achievement, after taking 1st in my class. I'm also looking to join a new Ski/Board club as well as some other clubs, possibly Key Club or Programming Club.</p>

<p>One more question- what is the most prestigious range of colleges I actually have a chance of getting into?</p>

<p>You will go to college no problem. With regards to what colleges, we need more info such as:</p>

<p>What is you intended major?
Preferred location?
Family budget?
Public or private?
School size?
Liberal Arts College or large state universities?</p>

<p>There are many great places you can go at this point.</p>

<p>Intended major is business-related, something like Supply Chain Management or finance. However, a physics-lite engineering major such as IE also sounds fun.</p>

<p>Preferred location would probably be anywhere in the Eastern U.S., but I like to keep an open mind so anywhere really.</p>

<p>Our family income is somewhere around 90K, so budget-wise I’d say 20-25K per year. </p>

<p>I don’t want to go to a very small school. If I had to choose between very small and very large I’d go with very large. And location isn’t a big factor but I prefer urban over rural colleges.</p>

<p>And I’m open to any type of school. I’d prefer public universities but I’d look into liberal arts colleges as well.</p>
