<p>stats are not good enough for oos in my opinion…sorry :confused:
i don’t really see ‘passion’ in your ec’s.
sat’s are not good enough for oos
only 5AP’s entire high school career is not good enough, i think. and defitnetly not enough honors courses.
gpa not high enough.
class rank is good.</p>

<p>umm your unweighted GPA is actually really good. A 3.97 unweighted is essentially straight A’s. However, because out of state admissions is so competitive, your SAT scores will most likely hold you back.</p>

4

<p>A GPA of 3.97 (UW) and a class rank of 24 is poor. Either grade inflation is in effect or the school is not competitive. Also, a high UW GPA and a low SAT score would suggest the same conclusion.</p>

<p>Lord. Have. Mercy.</p>

<p>@kjang, your grades and stats look pretty dang good to me. And your ECs look great, too.</p>

<p>LOL, seems like, per this board, you practically have to be God to get in anywhere.</p>

<p>This is the board where kids come to get depressed and discouraged, apparently.</p>

<p>And I say that as a non-kid (parent). :)</p>

<p>@LadyDianeski & at OP, sorry! i did not mean to depress anyone, that is just my honest opinion, after doing much research (:</p>

<p>LOL, <em>I’m</em> sorry–for being so persnickety.</p>

<p>Sometimes I think this board’s slogan should be:</p>

<p>CollegeConfidential. Where Kids’ Dreams Come to Die.</p>

<p>Sorry…I’m baaaaad. ;)</p>

<p>haha @LadyDianeski, thank you! Yeah this is a bit discouraging but I guess i’ll just have to wait and see what happens!
I definitely understand that my SAT scores aren’t very good though. I also took 4 additional ‘honors’ classes where APs were not an option (frosh and soph year).
I don’t understand how I have no ‘passion’ in my ECs? I love every single volunteering job that I have, and am thoroughly dedicated to each and every one of them. </p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback though!!</p>
