<p>I actually have a friend in my school who was a level 5 weighted 3.68 with a 1960 SAT who got into Columbia ED. However, to be fair, he was a recruited Track runner and a dual URM (Hispanic/African American), in addition to Class President. His rank was maybe Top 25%.</p>

<p>level 5, JOHNS HOPKINS</p>

<p>I have a UW GPA of 3.65, and a weighted 3.78. I do the full IB program, and was predicted 40/42. I made a 2350 on my sats and a 34 on the ACTs…
what are my chances at Northwestern and UChicago?
Sorry to crash, but everywhere else on this forum they tend to tell me that it is nearly impossible, but y’all seem to have a better idea of the overall picture…</p>

<p>Love this thread because it was a HUGE morale booster back when I was waiting on my decisions. Now that I’m done with the admissions process…</p>

<p>Level 4: 3.15 UW GPA, top 40% class rank, NO HOOKS</p>

<p>Accepted into Vanderbilt, UNC - Chapel Hill, Carnegie Mellon, Wake Forest, Rutgers pharm</p>

<p>Great thread…gives hope for students with lower GPAs.</p>
