<p>My school (competitive, well-known private school) doesn't put our GPAs on our transcripts (so colleges don't see a number on the 4.0 scale, they just see letter grades for each class)), but we do have internal GPAs (just for reference etc.- not shown to colleges). Mine is ~3.6 (Level 5), and I got in to WUSTL.</p>
<p>wow some stuff i see here are a little encouraging...i'm delighted to see! like some for JHU, cornell, etc. it raises hope a tiny bit. but hopefully not false hope.</p>
<p>My GPA is "downward trend" lol...
Freshman: 3.55
Sophomore: 3.55
Junior: 3.68
Senior 1st term: 3.08</p>
<p>I got into ...</p>
<ul>
<li>University of Michigan Ann Arbor (Engineering)</li>
<li>Northeastern University (PharmD, Honours, 10K Scholarship)</li>
</ul>
<p>and I consider myself very, very lucky.</p>
<p>Yeah, University of Michigan- Ann Arbor is very competitive. Do you think there was something about you that stood out? Like a high amount of EC's, ACT, OOS paying full tuition, other achievements etc...?</p>

<p>Okay I know a lot of you think top 10% is necessary for ivys and other top top schools. Is there anyone out there who got in (or know of somebody who got in) to one of these schools without being in the top 10%? (when rank is given on application). If you/another did, did you/they have any hooks or anything?</p>
<p>This is meant to be a positive thread and give hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I think theres a big thread like this already</p>
<p>My school doesn't rank, so there are students on the bottom 50% GPA wise that get into top schools.</p>
