Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>i am a first generation Korean male, in junior year, PA
2nd in my family to go to college</p>

<p>3.65 gpa, on a standard 4.0 scale, it would be about a 3.45 i think
my school scale goes up to 4.6, but it is actually impossible to get above a 4.3
3.65 of 4.6 is equivalent to a 3.45 of 4.0 (my school is really messed up... difference between a- and b+ is .7)
weighted scale goes 4.6 a+, 4.4 a, 4.2 a-, 3.5 b+, 3.3 b, 3.1 b-
i go to a public school in pennsylvania, one of the best in the state, highest rate of students that go off to college, and we always rank 1-3 in all standardized tests</p>

<p>around 1980-2060 SAT I</p>

The chart gives you about a 55% shot.</p>

6

<p>yea i think you have a shot, hard to say without a class rank tho.</p>

7

<p>even vanderbilt and emory?
i keep seeing people on the message board with 2150 sat and 3.8 of 4.0 gpa and stuff gettign worried</p>

8

<p>Don't waste your time and applying to UNC unless your SATs are much higher. As for USC, you have a chance but the chance would be much better at the University of South Carolina than at the University of Southern California.</p>

9

<p>south carolina? ha</p>

<p>what about vanderbilt adn emory?!
i didnt think i could get into unc either</p>
