<p>Colleges don't consider AP scores in their admission decisions. What were your grades in each of these classes? Is that what brought down your weighted GPA?</p>

3

<p>yeah,thats why my gpa/class rank suck.
=(</p>

<p>but,do u still think i can get in?</p>

<p>i dont know what the "new" SAT is out of (2400?), but if it is, especially w/ such a high math score you're in very good shape. GPA is average. and im probably gonna get yelled at over this but being hispanic will probably help out also (they really want diversity)</p>

5

<p>yeah,its out of 2400</p>

<p>I would apply but on the application check the box that will allow them to consider you for DGS. If you get rejected from engineering and accepted to DGS, you can try transferring into the department later.</p>
