<p>I consider myself below average for this website but just slightly above average for everyone. I’m Hispanic with 1720/ 2400 & 1140/1600 SAT scores and a 25 ACT. I’m in the top 14% of my class (95/683) with an UW gpa of 3.4 and a W gpa of 4.2 I took around 7 Pre-Ap classes & 6 APs (all this year). Who knows what will happen. I applied to 4 schools (U of H, UT, TAMU & Texas Tech). Maybe I’ll apply to U of Washington and some other school since I have some fee waivers… But I don’t really know. Anyways, chances?</p>

44

<p>Are most of the students in this range still taking many AP and Honors classes? I have a 3.5 UW, a 2060 on SAT I, 750 and 710 on SAT II while taking a total of 5 Honors and 4 APs. My test scores are slightly higher than most with people of my GPA, so i dont know where I fall. My W GPA is around a 3.7ish by the way.

<p>Motörhead , i would say you have a solid chance considering there sat range transfers from the act range of 28-32 to about 1920-2210 and your Gpa falls right in line, I wouldn’t worry to much about ECs with purdue as from what I have seen they are a numbers school, they are typically more lenient with admissions versus say UIUC but just keep in mind it’s very hard to graduate in four years there! I have similair stats except I have great ECs and volunteer hours! Just speaking from hours of reading reviews and CC posts! Write a kick a** essay and get great letters and you should have a good shot…sorry very long post lol first one</p>
