<p>You certainly have a chance. Assuming you go to a somewhat competitive high school, a 3.93 is no cause for concern. If everyone else applying from your school has 4.5s or whatever, it might be a problem. At my school, for example, a 3.93 is a bit below the avg accepted GPA to Penn, but it would not be a problem. Look at your school’s naviance for a better idea of where you stand.</p>
