<p>@jkeil911 overall GPA is a 3.2 unweighted, but (here comes all the extra crap) my grades have trended upwards since freshman year and I go to one of those ‘elite’ private schools that is considered to be a lot more rigorous than the public schools in my area (4.0 is a rarity). I have no clue how this would affect an admissions staffs judgement of my transcript. </p>
