4

<p>ok... i feel like a geek but</p>

<p>bump</p>

5

<p>99.9 GPA? ***? Plus you are only top 10%? you school must have the worst grade inflation in the human history.</p>

6

<p>I go to the same school. It is HIGHLY competitive, we go to 4 decimal points. She is probably in the top 5% (top ten people). She is modest about it all though.</p>

7

<p>i prefer to err on the side of caution. i don't yet know my rank, and i would rather not over-predict my rank....</p>

8

<p>you talk about how your school is competitive. But i thought competitive means the courses offered are harder and i don't see how people getting 100 (meaning perfect) would reflect that.</p>

9

<p>personally i don't agree with the "rigor" of the school. i think it's all busy-work, and if you can ace that, and BS, then it's not that hard...</p>

10

<p>o and that's my GPA about 2-3 semesters ago.... i think it's probably dropped to like 97 or 98... but that's weighted, too, so....</p>

11

<p>so no one can guess my chances???? :-( <em>tear</em></p>

<p>i think i over-think this a bunch... all this acceptance stuff scares me...</p>

12

<p>and now i go BUMP</p>

13

<p>MIT is reach for everybody. If you're in AP CS A and your school offers AP CS B and you aren't planning to take it you may be in trouble. Don't know about the others.</p>

<p>I hope we can go to Middlebury together!!! :-D</p>
