<p>I think your only edge over other applicants are your ECs. test scores (esp subject tests) and gpa are lacking. I think your gpa will hurt you the most</p>

<p>If I were to convert my gpa to the general weighted standard (+0.5 for all honors classes and +1 for all AP's) my weighted gpa would be well over a 4.3. Do college's even consider that? Also, are my chances for acceptance higher since i am applying early admission?</p>
