<p>weighted 3.92? … ouch. I think Yale’s going to be a highh reach for you. You’re a very stereotypical Asian (and unfortunately Vietnam isnt URM…) and nothing jumps out immediately. However, I think you have great shots at Pomona/Amherst/Emory. gL!</p>

4

<p>the highest my school’s gpa scale will go is 4.0. you can’t go over…</p>

5

<p>oh…wait…well then how does your school do weighted GPA? I was under the impression that UW was out of 4.0 and W was usually out of 5.0…?</p>

<p>btw, chance me back if you have time? :slight_smile: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/789037-chance-me-scea-yale-other-top-schools-pretty-ish-formatting.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/789037-chance-me-scea-yale-other-top-schools-pretty-ish-formatting.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
