<p>@314159, thanks for being optimistic, but let me remind you, my high school is extremely competitive, i’m asian. and i probably only rank top 15% - top 10%.
im not one of the best in my school, will i still get in / do i have chances at better schools?</p>

<p>I know from my school’s history that i stand no chance at Upenn.</p>

<p>Please more replies, and thanks to everyone!</p>

<p>a 4.85/4.0 doesn’t make sense</p>

<p>it just means 4.85 weighted. 4.0 unweighted</p>

<p>anyone got a response?</p>

<p>You definitely have the credentials to make it into Schreyers, besides that Critical Reading Score. If you could boost it up to a 600 I think you would be a shoe-in. But, I know your pain when it comes to Critical Reading, mine was a 530. But, then again, my whole test was terrible. </p>

<p>Anyway, Schreyers should be a match or low reach for you</p>
