<p>So where do you think I have a chance at? (ex ivy league, top 25, state, community college) Please be oh so specific as in "top 25 <em>college name here</em>"</p>

<p>PS this is not a "toll" thread (whatever that means) these are real stats reason my GPA is low is because I had bad start of high school career....</p>

<p>THANK YOU IN ADVANCED!</p>

<p>From Oklahoma, URM, 2300 SAT…Ivy League.</p>

3

<p>Even with a low GPA and not so many leadership positions of my not so good EC’s?</p>

4

<p>Good chance at HYPSM, plus excellent chance at all the other Ivies, and WashUStL, UChicago, Rice, Duke, Northwestern, etc. Your EC’s are a little thin and may affect your chances at the most selective schools. Good luck!</p>

<p>What’s your weighted? I think your UW is the only thing that is holding you back. But I think you have a great chance :).</p>

6

<p>How do you find your weighted GPA? And what is a toll anyway I’ve seen a lot of people calling others that on this website and whatever it is I promise you I am NOT one!!!</p>

7

<p>because people do not like tolls and stop replying to their threads and I don’t want that to happen I need advice</p>

8

<p>If you were white or Asian, you would probably get rejected with your GPA. However, you are a URM, so you’ll be competitive.</p>

9

<p>YAY for being black! :slight_smile: lol but really how do you find your weighted GPA and do they even look at that?</p>

10

<p>toll thread…</p>

11

<p>No its not!!!</p>

12

<p>I posted the same thread (little bit different wording) and there was clearly a different attitude of the posters Not trying to start anything just wanted to point this out</p>

<p>[thread]1048501[/thread]</p>

13

<p>Bump anyone else?</p>

14

<p>Good chance! URM really help, I would definately say Ivy League.</p>

<p>Chance me?

15

<p>Anyone else?</p>

16

<p>Thank you to all!! :)</p>

17

<p>“Toll thread” hahah you are too funny! but yes, I agree with others that you have a good chance at Ivy’s because I’m assuming your weighted GPA is above average.</p>

18

<p>It isn’t funny! And could someone please tell me how to figure out weighted GPA</p>

19

<p>What in the world is a “toll”? LOL</p>
