<p>I was wondering, for schools like HYPS, and others, would having a relatively low UW GPA (ie 3.86) hurt too much? i'm still ranked #1, but thats only becuase of the weighted scale. i say its relatively low cuz every1 from 2-10 has a higher UW (i think). That pretty much shows i've taken a much harder courseload than ne1 else, but i've also suffered more Bs. Would that decrease chances at all? or will the schools take it in consideration of my school, and think, well even though his UW is 3.86, hes still #1 cuz of his course load, so no points lost?</p>
<p>if 3.86 unweighted is bad, i think i'm completely screwed...</p>
<p>but honestly, they will consider the difficulty of your courseload and the type of school you attend. that's why your counselor sends in a school profile along with the transcript...</p>
<p>3.86 = bad? Where are you from?!</p>
<p>I second twink1etwinkle...B's or no, they will consider what kind of courses you took and whether you took the exams...</p>
<p>Um I have a 3.50 and I got into Penn :P
Whee</p>
<p>meh i guess im just scared by all the 4.0s i see then. plus my ECs can't carry me.</p>
<p>What're your EC's?</p>
<p>3.86 is good when you're in tough courses</p>
