<p>First off I'd like to thank anybody that comments. I really appreciate it. I go to a very competitive highschool, one of the best in NC. I am IN-STATE and am a junior right now.</p>

<p>My GPA at the end of junior year will be (as long as my grades dont drop) a 4.8(weighted) and a 3.85 unweighted. My school is very competitive people with high GPA's don't make it into the top 10% of the class (my friend with 4.6 is 75 and our valedictorian from last year had a gpa of 5.3). I'm probably gonna end up anywhere from 9-12%. I have 2030 SAT scores. Obviously i haven't taken any AP exams yet. Will I have a hard time with admissions just because of the competitiveness of my school.</p>

<p>Where do you want to go?
Your Extracurriculars look pretty good, I would say. However, if you want to get higher, you probably should retake the SATs.</p>
<p>You’re into the other schools but JHU DUKE and UNC are a low reach. I don’t really understand how you’re gpa is calculated but u definately have the grades.
just boost your SAT and try taking tr ACT bc east coast colleges prefer that!
You’re ECs are good though but I wouldn’t really mention the nominee stuff- if u didn’t get it don’t mention it :)</p>
<p>thanks for chancing me:)
btw you might wanna try applying early to ur favorite school, it’ll help a lot.</p>
<p>You have solid ECs, grades are somewhat shaky for JHU and Duke and so are your SATs, but if you can bring up your SATs and get a solid senior GPA I’d say you have a pretty good shot at those schools, and you’re in at all the others.</p>
<p>On a side note, do you happen to go to that North Carolina school of math and science (or something like that, not sure of it’s name exactly)? My friend went there.</p>
<p>Nope, I don’t go to the North Carolina School of Science and Math. NCSSM is known as the brain drain at our school, as the top 5 during sophmore year usually end up there. Also to answer someone else … I am glad I am in-state for UNC, don’t think I could get in without it… haha</p>
<p>Your in all of them except two, take another sat, just to see if you could boost it up, which you probably will and that’ll definatly help. JHU, Duke: very good chance in my opinion, just a little higher sat and your in. EC’s are definatly solid and classes too. You’ll do fine (wish I had your SAT score haha) Good Luck!!</p>
<p>I was thinking about applying to Cal Berkeley, I was wondering if someone could help me find my UC GPA. Thank You in advance … all of the online resources confuse me…</p>
<p>Oh and i’ll chance back anyone that wants one</p>
but I wouldn’t really mention the nominee stuff- if u didn’t get it don’t mention it :)</p>
