<p>The only thing that would hurt you is your GPA , I've got about a 3.2 and it sucks because its out of line with the rest of my app, like yours is.</p>

<p>I think you've got a good shot though.</p>

<p>i agree with xieon ... i think you have a fair chance and the only thing that could potentially hurt you is your gpa ... good luck!</p>

<p>your GPA hurts your application, but i think everything else, along with being puerto rican, will get u accepted.</p>

<p>Is your GPA W or UW?</p>

<p>I have a 3.14 GPA from up untill first quarter, don't know what my new one is.</p>

<p>But my senior GPA is like a 3.89 W do you think that will be weighted more heavily than my 3.14 cumulative GPA?</p>

<p>I'm not sure if the 3.14 is W or UW, they don't tell us. I have mainly B/B+'s with like 2 C's freshman year which killed it.</p>

<p>Well weighted would be where they give you a 3.5 for a B in an Honors class so you can take your grades and use the formula for AP and Honors as an estimate. Lets say you have all Bs for 4 classes but if two are Honors and one is AP your GPA is 3.6</p>
