<p>Mkay, so here’s how I see it:</p>

<p>Test scores - Very good. Once you’re past a certain threshold it doesn’t matter. Try to as well as you can on your SAT IIs.</p>

<p>ECs - Quite good. If I were you I would focus on getting across your (apparent) passion for journalism/science. really play these things up. You also seem very well accomplished in sports.</p>

<p>My one concern is that you are an international applying for financial aid. I know most schools are not need blind in that case, but you’ll have to look into it.</p>

<p>Also, doing your UW GPA conversion you have about a 3.68-3.7? That’s meh, could be better, but I’d say you have a good shot! Definitely apply. I thought I had no chance whatsoever, but got in. Good luck!</p>

<p>thanks for ur reply ace2209

8

<p>thanks for ur advice ace2209
just one query
how do i calculate my weghted GPA(OUT OF 4.0)</p>

<p>You cannot. The weighted GPA goes over the regular 4.0 scale. Some students have 4.7 in GPA.</p>

10

<p>You say you have a 92/100. Set 92/100 = ?/4.0</p>

<p>Cross multiply and you get something like 3.7ish yes?</p>

<p>Also, Ivy league schools care a lot more about your unweighted GPA than your weighted. Reptil is correct, different schools weight differently, so they look mainly at your unweighted. But that’s not to say they don’t take into account the level of the coursework you pursue, because they definitely do.</p>
