<p>your extracurriculars are incredible---I'd say you have a great shot based on that but essays are really important in their decisions too</p>

3

<p>Good shot but you never know!</p>

4

<p>Great stats, but how is your weighted GPA lower than your unweighted?</p>

5

<p>thank you all and halie my current gpa is w:95 and uw:93
could i get in with substantial FinAid</p>

6

<p>The extracirriculars are exquisite, but they all pertain to the same academic things. It doesn't exactly match the "well rounded" student is looking for..... but what saves you is your sheer accomplishment in the scientific field is outstanding... FANTASTIC!!</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>Dude, how is your W GPA more than your UW?
Are you really in those many sports?
How come you posted this a while ago and bumped it now?</p>

<p>Am I missing something</p>

<p>You have a lot of extracurriculars. I think that can actually hurt you if you’re not careful. You really should emphasize your main ECs in your application. With that many, you run the risk of diluting the strength of your best ECs with the mediocre/trivial ones. I’m not saying your ECs are bad (quite the contrary, you seem quite accomplished), but just be wary of how you present them.</p>

<p>Also… you may have issues getting financial aid if you’re applying as an international student (just as a heads up).</p>

11

<p>Too many indians as it is, being black would give you better chances</p>

12

<p>well i know its a bit monotonous…
and my GPA is 95(w)
am i on track?</p>

13

<p>MagiTF: Y has stated that it’s need-blind and will meet full demonstrated need for Internationals – one of the few colleges able to do so. As for getting *enough *FA, that’s every applicants’ concern, no?</p>

14

<p>yup i agree with that
bump…</p>
