<p>i live in southern california, and i am almost done with my junior year in high school. and im really hoping that i will get into uvm next year when i apply. i visited it this year during my spring break and i really liked it. and if i go, i plan on majoring in psychology. and i would like an honest opinion if i will get in</p>

<p>i am a white female, i currently have a 3.21 gpa unweighted. my gpa for freshman year was around a 3.5 and this year its been a 3.6 but during my sophomore year it was just barely a 3.0 due to a difficult year which began with three of my friends dying in september and in the spring i found out that my best friend had cancer</p>

<p>i go to a small college prep private school so all of the courses are very difficult and i have taken the most difficult courses for all of freshman year and sophmore year. in junior year i chose to take easier science, english, and spanish classes. but i was taking the most advanced pre calculus class offered, ap us history, and ap studio art.</p>

<p>my sat scores are math: 580, verbal: 540 and writing: 590
i havent taken the act yet, im taking it on june 6
and i plan on retaking the sat in the fall to see if i get higher results</p>

<p>i am really involved. i will have played varsity volleyball and softball for 4 years, and varsity basketball for 3. i will have been captain of volleyball and basketball for both junior and senior year. and captain of softball senior year. i am in national charity league and i have been secretary, treasurer, and i am currently the president. i am involved with junior statesmen of america (jsa), health occupation students of america (hosa), and i have been part of student counsel and california scholarship federation (CSF) for some semesters of high school. and this summer i have an internship with a psychologist.</p>

<p>My D had similar stats and a similar upward trend and was admitted, even got a (small) merit award. I think you are in good shape; especially as applicants from CA are probably unusual and given bonus points. Its always worth making contact with the admissions officer for your area to let them know of your interest:</p>

<p>Your in good shape. If your unweighted GPA gets to around 3.3+ just consider yourself in if you apply early.</p>

4

<p>The school has a 62 or 63% acceptance rate, you’re gonna be fine.</p>

5

<p>Your SAT scores are a bit above the average. Your GPA’s fine. I don’t know why you are even at all worried.</p>

6

<p>I have about the same stats and am applying. Can anyone tell me how UVM weights the GPA? I have alot of Honors/AP classes which really helps my weighted GPA. Hopefully UVM acknowledges something for this?</p>

<p>^ I think all colleges weigh GPAs the same:</p>

<p>A = 4.0
B = 3.0
C = 2.0
D = 1.0</p>

<p>F = Fail</p>
