<p>My unweighted GPA may be like 3.85-3.9 by the time I apply to Columbia, I just want to know if this will hurt me. I'm the only kid in the school who took on 13 AP classes throughout my whole school year. Im a junior so I have taken 7 right now and another 6 next year. In my sophmore year I slipped a little on my GPA. Will the fact I took 13 AP classes actually make up for the GPA a little bit or no?</p>
<p>i was accepted and i'm only taking 1 ap. my school only offers 1 so i guess they couldn't really say anything about it!</p>
<p>a 3.8 or 3.9 is nothing u need to "make up for" to begin with</p>
<p>you are destined to attend your local community college</p>
<p>in case you didn't notice, suburbamania was being sarcastic.
seriously, kid. stop panicking about your gpa. you're fine. i got a 3.3 in my first semester junior year, and a 4.0 the second semester. i got into columbia.</p>
<p>people with all kinds of gpa's get into all kinds of schools. colleges, especially selective ones, are much less robotic (in other words, much more holistic) than anxious high-schoolers tend to (always?) think.</p>
<p>I had a 3.79, I got accepted.</p>
