Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>My class Rank is 1st of 120ish kids, BUT my GPA is only 95.5%/100% cumulatively (all 4 years of high school).</p>

<p>Because of Grade 9 its a bit low, but am are my Academics good enough for Harvard admission?</p>

<p>And yes I take all the most advanced courses available to me. 13 AP courses and 6 are self-studied.</p>

<p>So how do i stack up academically for Harvard?</p>

<p>Im only asking about grades and i know the application isnt just limited to grades.</p>

<p>I think academically, you are in the race. But yes, the application consists of a lot of other things..</p>

<p>class rank of 1 puts you in a great position. </p>

<p>each school calculates GPA differently, and they have different levels of rigor--colleges will recognize that.</p>
