<p>They were state-wide. Also, A 27 is an 1860-1910 SAT, according to Wikipedia.</p>
<p>I'm surprised you have still not bothered to calculated your unweighted GPA. You ask for input but don't get the information for the individuals that are trying to help you with feedback.</p>

How to Convert Your GPA to a 4.0 Scale</p>
<p>Colleges report GPA (grade point average) on a 4.0 scale. The top grade is an A, which equals 4.0. This is the standard scale at most colleges, and many high schools use it.</p>
<p>If your high school uses a different or weighted system, you need to convert your GPA to a 4.0 scale for this tool. Talk to your school counselor or get a rough conversion by substituting these values:</p>
<p>A+ (97-100) = 4.0
A (93-96) = 4.0
A- (90-92) = 3.7</p>
<p>B+ (87-89) = 3.3
B (83-86) = 3.0
B- (80-82) = 2.7</p>
<p>C+ (77-79) = 2.3
C (73-76) = 2.0
C- (70-72) = 1.7</p>
<p>D+ (67-69) = 1.3
D (65-66) = 1.0
E/F (below 65) = 0.0

<p>Hi Smoda61, I found this on collegeboard...where did you get your scale? I always thought UW GPA end at a 4.0. :)</p>
<p>Opps thanks - A+ = 4.3</p>
<p>wouldn't let me delete my not thought out response</p>
<p>My school does not have an A+ offered (everything over 9.25 is an A) but if you read other threads you will see references to students having unweighted GPA > 4.0 due to A+ being a number greater than 4.0. I concluded that if B+ is 3.33 and C+ is 2.33 then for those schools who have and A+ > 4.0 then their value would logically be 4.33. If the school is like D's HS then disregard the A+.</p>
<p>PS CC put post's 24 and 25 out of order. They don't make sense at the moment.</p>
<p>MB my chart was a mistake to post but I thought it would give Olive_Tree the greatest range to work with. Your chart is the same as D's HS chart except for the significant figures.</p>
<p>I'm sorry. I never asked what my UW GPA was, I said I would ask my GC to make sure I wasn't wrong. I think I have a 4.0, lowest a 3.7, UW. My school doesn't do percentages just grades with a 90+ being an A. As I said before, I have all A's, except two B's for semesters.</p>
<p>Also, I'm very grateful to everyone who has offered advice and constructive criticism; don't think I'm ungrateful! I'm just very stressed and my life is very hectic right now, particularly since I'm trying to start college essays and apps., so I often don't have time to sit and try to convert GPA and grades. =)</p>
<p>dont worry you're not alone. I'm also applying to yale early (perhaps through questbridge) and all these chances threads make me really nervous!</p>
<p>^ I'm hoping I get matched, as well!</p>
<p>I think you have a great shot at getting matched (I only hope I do too)! Also, don't fret about your ACT score; it's just ONE test and it should not have a negative effect on your application. You have many other things going for you...good luck!</p>
<p>UPDATE:</p>
<p>I got a 720 on U.S. History. Is this a bad score? I honestly expected it to be higher. Well, at least I got a 5 on AP U.S. History. Should I retake it in October? Will Yale see this score as well?</p>
<p>They will only see your SAT II score if you send it to them. I think that it is a very respectable score, by the way. It shows some level of consistancy...especially with your AP score. Besides, anything above a 700 is really good...so congrats!</p>
<p>Thanks, but I still think I should have done better. I mean, it's History, a subject I've always been very good at.</p>
<p>Not that I know everything, but a 27 ACT is very very low for Yale. I mean most people would say even a 30-31 is low. Not saying you won't get in, but even for SCEA you still have time to retake.</p>
<p>There are no more chances to take the ACT and I can't take the SAT because I'm already taking the SAT Subject Tests in October. A 27 is what Yale will see, and yes I know it's low.</p>
<p>OliveTree: Your U.S. History SAT II score places you in the 86th percentile nationwide:

<p>Your test scores are what they are. They are low for Yale. You can't change that. Time now to focus your attention on 1) crafting the best essays and the most cohesive application you can, and 2) building a list that includes, in addition to Yale, some safety and match schools.</p>
<p>Well, should I retake it again if it's so incredibly low?</p>
<p>I couldn't have said it better myself, wjb. Don't stress so much about test scores...make sure your essays are great and also have a strong selection of other safety and match schools to apply to. Acedemically, you've definitely excelled; now it's time to show them another aspect about yourself.</p>
<p>Trust me, I know I definitely have admissions at at least one college. I'm not really worried about not getting into a college. Yes, I've been working, and stressing over, my essays.</p>
<p>Well, I really think I can at least get a 750 in U.S. History, so I'll be retaking it in October. Does anyone know if the curve is more generous in Oct.?</p>
