Thanks for all the advice everyone, i really appreciate it. I have looked at alot of lac:s and universities the past day but Cal poly slo and Northeastern are still my top choices. I just read on the cal poly slo admission page that admitted students usually have a gpa of 4.2 +. There is no way I can achieve a GPA like that because my gpa will be unweighted. A 4.2 must be a weighted score right? Do colleges take in mind that international students have unweighted gpa:s? I still take all the most rigourus classes in math, physics etc.
Also, will i have an advantage as i am from northern Europe and not the usual asian international student?
