<p>hi guys!
So im a junior and i figured out that my high school GPA will probably be a 3.5</p>
<p>i go to a very competitive catholic highschool
ive been playing field hockey for 4 years, varsity for junior and senior year
i play the harp
started & head of debate club
started & head of a program at school to help girls living in poverty in other countries
4 years in select singing group at school–been on TV & recorded and such
Studnet gov for 2 years, class president
200 hours of community service @ hospital, shelters, and such. </p>
<p>2300 on SATs</p>
<p>APS:
AP Calc BC
AP US
AP French
AP English Language
AP English Lit
AP Bio
AP gov/pol</p>
<p>5 on AP tests. </p>
<p>I’ve been taking honors and AP classes throughout all of highschool, never been in regular class. </p>
<p>im interested in psychology or directing and film studies </p>
<p>Where do you think I would be able to get into even with my semi low GPA? </p>
<p>Is that your weighted GPA??? That sounds a bit low for all the honors and AP classes you’ve taken…especially since you’ve gotten 5’s on your exams. </p>
<p>If your school does not weigh GPA, it should…and parents need to make a big stink about that because it is hurting students (my kids’ school had to be pushed HARD to start weighing classes).</p>
<p>also, some schools have a policy of changing an AP grade to an A if the kid gets a 5 on the exam.</p>
<p>Also…does you school just send a “year end” grade or does it send semester only grades for transcript? That can also affect GPA.</p>
<p>Well, if you could just recommend some schools that would be great.
Im nervous because i was looking at school profiles and like some of them are like 3.75 or like 3.8 and i dont think i even have a chance applying there so like around where should i go for? </p>
<p>We need more info before we recommend some schools…</p>
<p>What part of the country do you want to go to school…</p>
<p>What type of school do you want to go to? large, small, quiet, sports rah-rah, lots of activities, etc?</p>
<p>Can your parents afford a private school (about $55,000 per year)? Have you asked them and received confirmation about what they are willing to pay?</p>
<p>But…just off the top of my head…</p>
<p>St. Louis University</p>
<p>Tulane</p>
<p>Rhodes College</p>
<p>University of Portland</p>
<p>University of Seattle</p>
<p>Gonzaga U</p>
<p>any of the colleges listed in the book “Colleges that Change Lives”</p>
<p>No money is not an issue at all
and im not exactly sure about our schools weighting policy but suppose my weighted gpa is like 3.5, where does that put me?</p>
