Hi everyone! I was just wondering how competitive (if anyone knows percentiles?) of a GPA a 3.89 UW and 4.45 W is?
Also, if I apply early, will Princeton factor in my mid-year report grades to their decision or will they make a decision based solely on the GPA above?
Thank you!
Princeton offered admission to 10% of the applicants with a 4.0 and 6% of the students in your GPA range.
Nearly every university will tell you that admission is contingent upon satisfactory completion of your Senior year.
GPA is only one component of the application. Course rigor, school competitiveness, class rank, standardized test scores, extra curricular activities, awards, legacy, teacher recommendations and essays are all part of the package. And many students with outstanding applications are turned away every year. If you are not admitted, it will not be because of the GPA you described.
To my knowledge if more grades are available prior to your application being read, Princeton will consider those as well.
