<p>The GPA makes me a bit nervous. Did your school give 5.0 credit for A’s in IB classes?</p>

3

<p>yes. I know, it’s terrible. but i have a friend who got into stanford with a 3.6 weighted, from my school, which gives me some hope.</p>

<p>Keep up those EC’s, they’re great, and keep doing service. Chances are you’ll win more awards…etc…score is in range, not bad…consider taking the SAT/SAT II’s</p>

<p>But really, all you need to worry about (besides the entire application process) is GPA. Get that thing up, and you are golden (as golden as you could be for an ivy at least, lol)</p>
