<p>Right now i’m a highschool senior (just finished junior year).
My overall GPA is 3.7 (unweighted)(and our school doesnt…weight…damn it…) </p>

<p><em>Our school’s “A” starts from 94%</em> (I hope colleges consider this alot…)
I go to one of privates schools (quite tough.) and our school doesnt rank. </p>

<p>In total i took (+ gonna take in senior year) 5 AP’s.

<p>Also i took 4 SAT IIs .

  • Chem: 760
  • Bio: 790
  • IIC: 800
  • Korean: 800 </p>

<p>My SAT is ~2200. </p>

<p>Extra-curriculum

  • Tennis 3 years (co-captain)

<p>you can’t really “estimate” your SATs. in any case, 3.7 GPA is very low for any ivies. no chance at princeton for sure. the others? you need lots of luck</p>

6

<p>oh my is that true</p>

7

<p>3.7 is very low for any ivies? Are you sure? It is ECs that play role a lot and this:</p>

<br>

<br>

8

<p>3.7 is not very low…just because most ppl have all a;s means nothing</p>

9

<p>In by the way…I think most schools start their A’s at 94. And the only thing weighted at my school are AP classes.</p>

10

<p>So do i have chances or not? plz comment on this~~</p>

<p>I do not think my GPA is that low,
(and most schools don’t have 94-A grading system)
since i think my sat scores can cover it up quite,
wat do u think?</p>

<p>if you have a 2400, that might cover up 3.7 a LITTLE. if you have a 2250+, that only places in you the above average profile for SAT scores. so no, your sat score cannot cover up the GPA, even if it is based on 94 points.</p>
