<p>Assuming that all else is HYPS material, is it likely that I will get into HYPS school with a 36 ACT but a 3.4 unweighted GPA (with upward trend)?</p>
<p>No, that UW GPA is too low. What is your class rank?</p>
<p>2nd or 3rd of around 250</p>
<p>^ Oh, well in that case, it is clear that your school has significant grade deflation. You definitely still have a chance, but I have no idea whether it is likely based on what little you have provided.</p>
<p>I’m in a similar situation, I have an UW GPA of around ~3.6, but I’m currently ranked 3rd in my class out of 450 students. My school doesn’t necessarily have grade deflation, but AP courses are heavily weighted in most NC public schools, and class rank is based off of weighted GPA. I wonder how adcoms will view this</p>
<p>Yet another chance thread, and this time full of lies?!?!?
Didn’t you tell us you go to Wooton? (MD)?</p>
<p>Anyone willing to answer my question in post #5.</p>
<p>I think that is still a bit risky.
