College Discussion - View Single Post - College Classification Conundrum (a.k.a. safety/match/reach???)

I'm in much the same position as yourself (and I just posted a thread too). We both have relatively weak ECs (although yours are certainly better) and good grades and test scores, and we both have nary a clue of what would be appropriate safeties, reaches, and matches.

Decent grades, SAT, not so good EC

So, I'll give ya courtesy bump

Oh, is your GPA cumulative or for the most recent year/semester? It just seems that it doesn't quite match up w/ the # of APs you've taking... (5 courses a year w/ 5 APs would give you a max of 4.33, but hey, maybe your schools weighs grades differently from mine
