<p>Wow, we don't even get weight for honors classes, and certain IB classes only get +0.5.</p>

<p>really we get +.1 for IB... sucks to be in your school</p>

<p>I hear the UCs are building a new robot that sorts out all the 3.9s and throws them into the fiery pits of rejection.</p>

<p>^^ now that is just saaaddd...</p>

<p>Aka, lol, that kid was unlucky, that's all. I know an Asian kid with 4.0 Weighted and 1150 SAT I(terrible verbal score), but 800 on SAT II's(well, an 800 on Chinese isn't surprisingly good), and nearly NO EC's get into Berkeley. It's called the "immigrant factor".</p>
