My GPA is sad bc I took so many honors classes bc my teachers put me in them. Definitely will be around 4.2 weighted by the end of this year.
What should I improve I don’t even know if I have any shot at all or if URM status means anything lol

pls just say what grade you are in no one wants to calculate that based on princeton “2021”
you should improve everything, always aim for better things!

@theofrelord What do you mean? Clearly, she is a rising senior. The currently admitted college undergraduate class is the class of 2020, so the class of 2021 is the next admitted class.

@minminmin788 Your ECs seem great (particularly the research and the first aid/rescure squad) and your test scores are good. I would try to bring your GPA as much as possible before applications, as it seems to be the only thing holding you back. Good luck!
