<p>You’ve got the SAT scores for Pratt, that’s all I know for sure.</p>

3

<p>How can you have a 4.1 GPA unweighted?</p>

4

<p>lol I guess he’s just THAT talented.</p>

<p>One time I got a 200% on a Science test. Was it a typo? Yes. But it’s something I can still brag about :)</p>

5

<p>Yeah, I think I messed up on that UW GPA. My school gives 4.3 for an A+, so that’s how I got that number, but now I’ve been told that colleges will look at As and A+s as a 4.0.</p>

6

<p>A third of your grades are A+'s?</p>

7

<p>Yep, a third are A+s, and two thirds are As (just a rough estimate).</p>

<p>hmm wow yeah, you’re in.</p>
