<p>This GPA range seems kind of underrepresented to me. Any seniors want to share where they got in with there GPA at those levels?</p>
<p>ME TOO have a 3.6 but i defintely deserve better i noe it. there are people in my school who cheat, teachers play favorites, its just a bunch of mess. colleges never look at that…</p>

UCI
UCR
SLO
Long beach

<p>onmyway2ivy: yeah i definitely agree. The kids in my school at the top 10-20 percentile cheat like crazy. Yes, there are those who don’t cheat, but a lot cheat on tests, don’t do hw, etc etc. It sucks but I guess that’s life. </p>

<p>^^^
Did you not read? 3.6-3.8</p>
<p>3.98 is not within that range</p>
<p>Congrats to your D though</p>
<p>Sorry! I removed my post when I realized.</p>
<p>No worries =)</p>
<p>3.86 gpa, a little over your range but it was at a school with a bit of grade inflation. </p>
<p>Accepted to UChicago, Michigan, USC (10k/year merit scholarship), U of Washington, and UCLA. Deferred from Duke ED, Rejected Vanderbilt.</p>
<p>What SAT/ACT score @seahawks? I have a 3.88 UW and love USC</p>
<p>2290, although I’d caution you if you’re inquiring about the merit scholarship. The process of deciding who gets it isn’t quite as clear as you think and it’s often to cover institutional wants. People near the top of my graduating class didn’t get one, for example, and I think only 1,000 out of 27,000 actually were accepted with scholarship.</p>
<p>I got in Vandy! My GPA is about 3.6.</p>
<p>Im only a junior so of course I havent applied anywhere yet so the following comment may be pointless to all of you but I’d like to point out that</p>
<p>As someone who currently has an UW Cumulative gpa of around 3.65, this thread is incredibly encouraging lol seeing people get accepted to schools like Vandy and Pomona with around the same GPA as I do is great considering many people have told me not to even bother applying to top schools like that.</p>
<p>In the hope of providing encouragement, I’ll post for my DS. At the time he initially applied his GPA was a 3.6. However, after straight A’s with 5 AP’s senior year, his mid-year report GPA was a 3.72 (his weighted GPA was a 4.9).</p>
<p>Strengths of Application:
Top 2% of class (#11 of 550 students)
33 ACT (34 superscored)
Good EC’s (including Varsity Baseball, which he will not play in college, and Student Government Officer)
Tough Curriculum (12 AP courses including Calc AB an BC and Physics A & B)
Great Recs
Overcame some difficult personal circumstances (death of dad in 10th grade and 2 baseball surgeries during HS)
Did not apply for FA</p>
<p>Weaknesses of Application:
GPA
AP test scores and SAT 2’s (he does not do well on college board tests)
Most of his EC’s were in 11th and 12th grade (except sports and NHS)
At a mediocre public school that only sends 6% of students out of state with very few top 20 acceptances</p>
<p>My son’s counselor thought he aimed a bit high in his applications (even though he was not interested in any Ivies). We are incredibly glad he did. There is strength in numbers and it only takes the chance acceptance to one amazing reach school to make it worth the $50-70 application fee and extra essay.</p>
<p>Accepted:
Washington University in St. Louis (will likely attend)
College of William and Mary
University of Florida (Honors Invite)
Northeastern (Highest Dean’s Merit Scholarship)
Boston University (Presidential Scholar)</p>

@Forester17 congrats on Agnes Scott, St. Olaf Rhodes WEllesley! Wow! I’m surprised that you didn’t get William and Mary too. Great schools. Would love to know where your daughter chooses to go.
