<p>Hi.
So I go to a really good private school in nyc which is recognized as being like extremely hard and such. Like this year, out of a class of 102, we sent like 21 kids to HYPS. People in the middle(B - B+) of that class got sent to like Hopkins, Emory etc. And everybody got into college.
And I just got back my jr year grades, and my gpa(we dont actually have GPAs but i calculated it) was a 3.57. It had been a little bit lower freshman and sophomore years(like a B/B+).</p>

<p>My sats were 2210 - 750 CR, 720 W, 740 M.
Sat IIs - 710Math I, 750 US history.</p>

<p>The highlights of my extras are
1.) 3 sport varsity athlete
Baseball, varsity since freshman year.
Cross Country - 1 year varsity.
Indoor track - 2 years varsity.
2.) Newspaper sectional editor.
3.) Paid internship with a neurologist.
4.) Alumni Affairs club co-president (legit club that makes money for the school)
and a good amount of community service and such.</p>

<p>Also, I will have good recs.</p>

<p>So with all of this, any chance?</p>

<p>can you talk a bit about your overall high school gpa. it doesn’t quite make sense when you talk about the B-B+ range for other kids in your school and then use a GPA for yourself.</p>

<p>You will have a decent chance but not a shoe in…I’d apply early decision and perhaps interview if you want it bad enough.</p>

<p>My school doesn’t actually have a gpa or class rank. I just went online, and typed in my grades to get my GPA. Sorry for the confusion.</p>

5

<p>i think you have a pretty good chance of getting in.
but then again… college admission is a crapshoot.</p>

<p>Agree. Top 20 schools are odd sometimes when you see who gets in and who doesn’t, and the prevailing theory at Wash U at least is that it might have something to do with whether or not they really think you would choose them. So if you love Wash U and are sure it is your #1 choice, go ED and then I think your chances are pretty good. In the RD pool, they are less certain, but if you want to keep your options open then that is what you have to do.</p>

<p>I think I’m not gonna apply early anywhere (except rolling admissions to Michigan and Wisconsin maybe).</p>

<p>UM isn’t a rolling admissions. It’s EA or RD.
And you can’t apply early anywhere, if you apply ED to UPenn, then you can’t ED to lets say Columbia. That’s not allowed. Nor can you SCEA to Yale and ED to UPenn.</p>
