<p>Brown
Princeton

<p>bump.bump.bump.</p>

<p>Please chance me; I am a nice person!</p>

<p>Sigh, thank you PBoland! Yeah, it’s definietly up in the air.</p>

<p>I think you are very qualified
you have to figure out what your hook is
your URM stactus will help a lot!
You have an above average chance to get into all these schools, but they’re all reaches, for everyone!
your GPA is a little bit low compared to others, but remember, thats not everything!
Just keep it up and score well on your subjects</p>

<p>thanks! Yeah, the GPA may be a problem and frustratingly enough the four B’s that I’ve recieved were 88’s or 89’s. Sigh.</p>

<p>O yeah, and in terms of rank, I’m definietly somewhere in the top 5%, but not exactly sure where because school hasn’t disclosed.</p>

<p>And I want to be Pre-med; how could I forget?</p>

<p>Opps! For WGPA I meant 4.475 NOT 4.75, which is impossible in our system.</p>

<p>bump, please.</p>

<p>sweet: I found out that Stanford only uses sophmore & junior for calculated GPA. WGPA for me would then be a 4.5ish easily!</p>
