Where can my 36 take me? (Unique situation)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Here's the problem: my gpa is a 3.72 (3.2 9th grade, 3.8 10th, 4.0 11th)
I have above average EC's, plenty of AP's, some fantastic jobs and internships, and a few very prestigious awards, but I don't know how much my gpa will hurt me in the admissions process.</p>

<p>Do I have a legitimate shot at top 10/20 engineering schools?
Umich/Stanford/CMU/Harvey Mudd/CalTech/Princeton/Cornell, etc....</p>

<p>Please Help!</p>

<p>You’re in at CMU (they don’t consider freshman year grades)… For the rest, you have a good chance at U Mich, and the others are reaches.</p>

<p>Forgot to mention I’m in state at UofM, does that make a significant difference?</p>

<p>If you’re in state, you’re probably in at Mich as well.</p>

<p>You should be fine for UMich. I believe they only count GPA from sophomore and junior (plus senior if available).</p>

<p>I thought that policy of theirs had changed??</p>

<p>lol that GPA is not bad at all, especially with your rigorous courses. You don’t need a 4.0 to get into the top colleges…</p>

<p>I think a 3.72 is a fine gpa. It is definitely good enough to get you into Carnegie Mellon, UMich and maybe even Cornell although it is a bit of a stretch.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input guys! any other chances? :)</p>

<p>U mich actually started looking at freshman grades a couple of years ago, but is the least important year. You should get in still.</p>
