Have any of you gotten in with a 3.85 unweighted?

<p>My unweighted looks like it will be a 3.85 unweighted... But class rank is still top 1%. 'B's in AP Chem and AP Euro.</p>

<p>of course you can get in. i believe my bro had lower than that</p>

<p>^
What if I’m Asian?</p>

<p>Mine is about that and I applied. :D</p>

<p>It really depends on your school. My school is very competitive (~40 students w/ 2300+ on the SAT) and high GPAs are hard to come by. The average accepted GPA for many competitive schools (Harvard included) for students from my school is in the low 3.8s. I myself have a upper 3.8 GPA (2400 SAT) while some of my friends at other schools have 4.935 weighted GPAs but 1950 SATs!!! If you go to a challenging school and you took rigorous classes you should be fine.</p>

<p>Even for the Ivies, its not all about numbers. If the rest of your application stands out and is really good you might have a chance, but it is just impossible to predict this with an acceptance rate of 6%</p>

<p>I got in with about a 3.7 (or whatever a 90 computes to in GPA speak). It’s very possible, even coming from a crappies school like mine.</p>

<p>GPA really doesn’t matter much out of context. You could go to a really rigorous prep school where no one has over a 3.9 unweighted. That’s why class rank is more important, and since you’re top 1%, you don’t have any reason to worry as long as you’ve challenged yourself.</p>

<p>oh forgot to add, my bro’s asian xD</p>

<p>according to some people ive talked with, harvard doesnt really weigh GPA that high. as long as your other credentials are good you should be fine</p>

<p>That’s good news.</p>
