everything looks good except for your gpa, which looks oddly low compared to the rest of your stuff

huskem55

how do you have such a high class rank with a 2.79 gpa?

GoldShadow

What they said/asked.

tribe567

is your GPA on a 3.0 scale?

clockwork

4.0 scale... i go to an awful school
from freshman to senior year, about half of the class drops out on average

tribe567

is it a public, private, or prep school? judging from the size, it looks like a public school

clockwork

it's public
to give a better picture:
class rank 30 has a gpa of 3.1 UW
rank 8 has a gpa of 3.5 UW
rank 2 has 3.94 UW

the school is about 30% black 30% hispanic 20% white 15% asian and 5% other

to add to my first post, i also have done continuous community service at a YMCA daycare center

I think you're definitely in; your SAT combined with the rank and everything else make you a great applicant.
