<p>hey thanks for all your help =]</p>
<p>Post #18, so wrong.</p>
<p>whys it wrong?</p>
<p>That you need a 3.8 UW to have a shot at top schools irrespective of courseload. First off, if you're not taking a challenging courseload you can not get into top schools even if you have a 4.0 UW. Secondly, "top schools" (as long as you're not only talking about HYPS) accept many students with below 3.8 UW, and in many I'd bet the majority. And 3.77=3.8 UW to adcoms. That's why it was so wrong.</p>
<p>so for the previously posted gpa scale
does A = 90-100 or 94-100 because my county's scale is:
94-100 = 4.0
90-93 = 3.5 and so on</p>
