<p>I had roughly a 3.6 and got into Brown and was waitlisted at Princeton. (I didn’t apply to the others)</p>
<p>Your question, however, won’t help predict your success, since at some schools, a 3.6 UW is only okay, while at others, it’s exceptional. It really depends what it means in the context of your school, what your classes were, etc.</p>
<p>congrats on getting into brown! that’s one of the schools that i’m shooting for 
and when i say 3.78, i mean with all honors courses/ AP courses… basically the type of schedule that would challenge a student. for example, i will have taken about 20 honors courses and 10 AP courses by the time i graduate HS. </p>
<p>thanks so much for replying and congrats again!!</p>
<p>i got into cornell with a 3.8 (on my transcript when applying)
waitlisted at wharton in upenn</p>
<p>after senior year first semester, i was down to a ~3.75</p>
<p>a 3.78 is nothing to worry about for those schools
in my opinion as long as you have about a 3.7, you should be fine.</p>
<p>It would totally depend on what the GPA means at your school–you could be val or not even top 10%. It’s all about rank, whether your school formally ranks or not.</p>
<p>^
What about a 3.85 for HYPSM? With two Cs?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Quoting for emphasis.</p>
<p>Is that your unweighted GPA? </p>
<p>What is your rank?</p>
<p>^
Yeah, a 3.85 unweighted, 4.5 or better weighted.</p>
<p>Top 5 out of ~600, hopefully #1 by the end of junior year.</p>
<p>Also uroogla, i was wondering what kind of EC’s/ SAT scores you had to get waitlisted at princeton/ accepted to brown.</p>
