<p>Im an incoming senior from PA and my stats are good, I have a 3.65 GPA UW 2160 SAT (800M 700CR 66W) and have done some pretty cool stuff with a nonprofit corporation I started up, but my school screws up class rank completely. The school I go to barely weighs an honors or AP class, which is all i have taken in my life, over a college or tech prep class. The weight system has caused me to be outside of the first decile (top ten percent) at my school. How much will this hurt me in applying to schools like Michigan, Carnegie Mellon, Chicago, NYU, Cal and UCLA? </p>
<p>and i dont know if it helps but i know by misyear i will be in the top ten percent because im fairly confident with my courseload next year being all AP classes that i can move up the couple spots i need</p>
