GPA: 3.857 unweighted, 5.3971 weighted, rank: 11/1066

How would you say these grades are? I am trying to be eligible for a likely letter for an Ivy League School (sport recruit)

2

Dude your grades are amazing! Out of 1066 students, your class rank is also great. Do you have any other extracurriculars or awards/honors, leader ship positions? It wouldn’t hurt to only have one EC, but I would say add a few more that demonstrate your passions. Otherwise, just keep doing great like this and you’ll have a good shot at getting into an Ivy League school. :slight_smile:

I am in National Honor Society, Spanish National Honor Society (running for president), Mu Alpha Theta
For sport, I race sailboats competitively at an international level. I am ranked top 3 in the country at it, and already talk to coaches at Ivy League schools. I am just wondering if my grades are good enough for them to be able to use a recruiting spot on me.

4

Your grades are amazing. I think you are in a good spot academically. Your extracurriculars are good also. For Ivy League schools, I don’t know necessarily that coaches can help you get in. Other schools like Stanford usually do that.

5

Can you explain how a weighted 5.3971 is calculated?

6

the GPA scale is out of 6.0, but only advanced classes are weighted at 6.0. Regular classes are weighted at 5.0. 100 in AP class = 6.0, 100 in regulars class = 5.0. Highest possible GPA is theoretically around a 5.7 (valedictorian has a 5.59)
