I got a C my Freshman year in math which is clearly my weakest subjecy, as expressed in my application. I have maintained a 3.94 weighted GPA since with all A’s and B’s. As far as a GPA goes, is this good enough for Cornell? What about Boston College? Thanks.
<p>A C won't kill you, especially if it was your freshman year. However, a 3.94 W might be considered low for C and BC.</p>
<p>I don't understand how people say certain weighted GPAs are low when people don't explain their school's weighting system.</p>
<p>Your so screwed.</p>
<p>Just kidding...if it's your weakest subject..do what it takes to become good at it..easier said than done I know...but you have to at least try.</p>
<p>Sorry folks; weighted grades are absolute nonsense. If you are taking an AP or honors class you are expected to be able to perform at a higher level. However, superior is still superior and above average is still above average. You don't get to say you are superior when in fact you are above average in a higher level course. Admissions staff will give you credit. They know a B in a honors class is more valuable than an A in a non honors class. I don't know how people so easily go on about their high weighted GPAs.</p>
<p>spaceman,
what's your class rank like? Weighted GPA out-of-context is really hard to evaluate.</p>
<p>Yeah, your right. Im in the top 10%. Is top 10% pretty much a safe place to be for most colleges?</p>
<p>Top ten percent should be ok at BC, and mostly ok at Cornell. Assuming the rest of your application is also good. The waiting's a bear, isn't it!</p>
