<p>I'm a junior from NJ. Here are my statistics. I'm thinking of majoring in medical science. My highest hope is MIT, then JHU, then Rutgers. What do you guys think?
GPA: 3.72
APs: 3 by the end of this year, hopefully all 5s
SATI: 750 math, 780 verbal, 690 writing---I will retake it in October
SATII: Math IIC: 800, Chem: 780, Chinese: 800; I will take bio in June
I got a 236 on my PSAT.
EC:
Math League---I took AMC 3 times, was the school winner this year. I got a 6 on the AIME, attended ARML twice
I did 40 hrs of community service at the Chinese Community Center. I also did 12 hrs of service in China helping people get vaccinated
I'm a qualified lifeguard</p>
<p>MIT, ur GPA is going to hurt you. JHU, a good candidate. Rutgers, I would say in for sure.</p>
<p>yeah the GPA doesnt seem to fit the rest of your stats so I'm assuming that it is unweighted, what is your weighted GPA?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, that was my weighted GPA, but it's only an approximate. I have around a 93, which would convert to a 3.72, right?</p>
<p>Hey. Being a life-guard helps me applying medical schols? please answer... anyone.</p>
<p>anyone know the conversion from percent to gpa?</p>
<p>Proportion, duh!! :)</p>
<p>are you kidding? you would seriously use a direct proportion?? i mean i can get a 93 in all my classes and get a 4.8 so that doesnt seem fair to me but w/e</p>
<p>93 over 100 equal to x over 4.0. Cross multiply 93 times 4.0 = 372. 372 divided by 100 equals 3.72. :) and how could you get a 4.8?</p>
<p>I'm saying if I get a 93 percent in all my classes (I have 5, 4 AP) that is straight A's and therefore is a 4.8; I know how to do proportions (I'm not as stupid as I seem) but for the reason I stated above I don't see using proportions as fair I guess but if that's how they (college admissions officers) do it, that's how they do it.</p>
<p>If you have a 93, and you calculate your gpa out of 5, then you have a 4.65. How can you get a 4.8?</p>
<p>a 93 could mean you got all 93s in every single class. That would mean you had all As, and that would mean you had an unweighted average of 4.0 and a weighted avearage of something approaching 5 (depending on how many honors classes you took)</p>
<p>That's why it is difficult to judge this, you could have anything from roughly 3.5 to roughly 5.0</p>
<p>Ivy_07....4 A's in AP classes= 20 pts. , 1 A in non AP class= 4 pts., 24 pts./5 classes= 4.8 GPA.. because a 93 in each class is an A in each class</p>
