Is my GPA still good enough?

<p>Hi all,
today was the last day of school (late, I know) and I am pretty depressed because my grades have fallen so low. I maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA until this year. I got an A- in history, physics, and I think I might get an A- in English too (I am not sure... My teacher said she curves the grades based on an upward trend but she hates me a lot so I am not sure how much I can trust her) and the rest I have A's. I calculated my GPA and it dropped from a 4.0 to 3.87. </p>

<p>I am so worried about my GPA and am afraid that might prevent me from having a chance in applying to Ivy Leagues. I am Asian (Korean) but the school county is the toughest in the nation. I am also an IB diploma candidate so all of my seven classes except one are IB classes. Will my GPA possibly harm my chance in getting into Cornell? What about UVA?</p>

<p>Oh and that is 3.87 if I assume that I got an A- in English also.</p>

<p>It might hurt Cornell because they are VERY big on GPA. However, high test scores can make up for this. What were your SAT and/or ACT like?</p>

4

<p>as long as your SAT/ACT is high you should be okay. what is your class rank?</p>

<p>A 3.87 is not a big deal, you are fine.</p>

<p>Average GPA at Cornell is a 3.79.</p>

<p>You’re fine.</p>
