<p>hey, im a white dude, got a 2150 SAT, 710 and 700 are my best SAT2s, got instate goin for me, row for one of the best school teams in the dc area, have interned with speaker of house, and got those generic NHS,etc sort of things goin for me as well. Also, i have a good 500 word essay, but the 250 word ones are killer, if i only write avg essays, will it severaly detract from my application. any thoughts would be great</p>
<p>gpa? AP's IB's?</p>
<p>4.1 GPA, 10 APs after this year</p>
<p>Very good chance.</p>
<p>I agree with sunshinee. In-state with strong SAT scores, rigorous courseload, excellent GPA. I'd be surprised if you didn't get in honestly. Just make sure you don't mess up your essays :P</p>
<p>Your UW GPA and class rank count much more. It's impossibly to assess your chances without those.</p>
<p>A great majority of the most competitive schools don't give out class rank...</p>
<p>UVA still asks for an estimated class rank from every guidance counselor. Also, weighted GPA means nothing by itself, and is only useful if there is a class rank or estimated class rank involved.</p>
<p>hey, thanks for all the advice u been givin, im about like top 20% or so of class of 224. i think this is a little low, but i have been told by many people that my class has been much heavier on the academic end than the classes that have gone thru the school the last few years, but we have a lot fewer good athletes and such. anyways, keep the comments comin, i preciate it.</p>
<p>do you go to a private or magnet school?</p>
<p>20% is a bit strange for someone w/ 2150 SAT and 4.1 WGPA</p>
<p>yea, its a private school</p>
<p>masticore - </p>
<p>obviously you've never seen those rogue schools with 5.0 or 6.0 weighted scales.</p>
<p>my high school had a 5.0 scale - and you could theoretically graduate with a 5.2ish gpa - leaving 4.1 well outside of the top 15-20%.</p>
<p>ok, thanks dude, i appreciate it.</p>
<p>@jags,</p>
<p>i've heard of schools with 5.0 gpa and such, but im talking about class rank. 2150 SAT is relatively high for someone with a low class rank. Thats why i wondered if it was private or magnet.</p>
