<p>Extra Information:
My high school does not rank as it is highly competitive. Probably my test scores (and the fact that my school does not rank) got me in. I'm definitely not in the top 5%...top 20% probably.</p>

<p>My 1st semester grades are much.</p>

<p>AP English Literature - A
AP Government - A
AP Spanish - B
Honors Astronomy - A
Calculus - A</p>

<p>With that, here's what my unweighted / weighted should be:</p>

<p>GPA's a little low, but your test scores are great...I'd expect you to have good chances at all of those schools except Tufts.</p>

3

<p>Good luck :)</p>

<p>Hopefully you'll choose UR!</p>

4

<p>Most likely, assuming all the finances are in order.</p>

5

<p>Bump..........</p>

6

<p>In all honesty, you may not have been the greatest high school student, but as everyone knows, so often those types go on to experience burnout (shortly after high school) and do nothing in college. I doubt you'll get into Tufts (however, I feel you should), but the other places shouldn't be too far out of your reach. Peace!</p>

7

<p>lol, Peter...I'm gonna burn out?</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

8

<p>Bump.........</p>

9

<p>Judging by the large difference between weighted and unweighted, it seems like your school weighs with 6 points for AP. Most schools only give 5 points.</p>

10

<p>We give 5 points for AP and honors. I took all honors and AP classes (except for standard calculus)</p>

11

<p>Oh, I stand corrected.</p>

12

<p>Anybody else?</p>

13

<p>Good chance at all except Tufts.</p>

14

<p>I really hope both you and I get into Rochester. If these people think you have a good shot at Rochester, hopefully I will too because I have similar stats as you do (A little higher GPA, lower SAT).</p>

15

<p>all in except Tuft (match/reach)</p>

16

<p>Alright. I know I'm stretching this out, but I'd like more opinions.</p>
