<p>You might get some merit from GT, but you won’t get need-based aid.</p>

<p>You have a decent chance for UVA and Wash U, but your UW GPA may hurt you. They take few OOS kids.</p>

<p>Do you qualify for need-based aid? </p>

<p>Will your parents pay their expected “family contribution”? </p>

<p>UVA uses CSS Profile, so do you know what you’re likely family contribution will be?</p>

<p>UW-Seattle… honors…are you instate?</p>

<h1>Average High school GPA: 3.92</h1>

<h1>Average SAT: 2070</h1>

<h1>Average ACT: 31</h1>

<p>Is that avg GPA weighted or UW?</p>

<p>Thats a weighted GPA, and I’m out of state for all schools.
What is a CSS profile? Im hoping to receive substantial need-based aid seeing as I have two siblings in school right now. </p>

<p>I’ve read that UVA gives more weight to transcripts than test scores which worries me.</p>
