<p>95.9 out of 100? that is like an A average, but not all A's?</p>

4

<p>im guessing it is a 3.85 out of 4.0, mostly A's, with a few B's?</p>

5

<p>You're going to have a hard time because you're from Jersey. They get SO many applicants from there. And they can only take so many.</p>

<p>I was deferred/rejected. And a girl in my school (double legacy), was also deferred/rejected.</p>

<p>Thank you for your comments, yea my grades are predominantly A's with a few scattered B's in advanced courses.</p>

<p>ok, so it is around a 3.8 or something, is that a weighted GPA?</p>

<p>unweighted, not sure of weighted</p>

<p>"95.9 out of 100? that is like an A average, but not all A's?"</p>

<p>a 95.9 requires all 90's i believe or like a a 100 to balance something like an 88 but yeah 95.9 is 99 percvent most liely all A's even a p3 average cna be like all A's</p>
