<p>That converts to a 3.49/4.00 GPA? If so, you’re a reach for Georgia Tech with an FI below 3200.</p>

4

<p>How do you convert GPA ? … and What is this … with an FI below 3200. ?? </p>

<p>I am Sorry for asking such siily questions … but i am new to this stuff :slight_smile: </p>

<p>In the US, the vast majority of schools use a 4.00 GPA system to calculate grades. In order to compare you to other students (and the statistics schools provide on their own), your GPA has to be converted from a 100 % system to a 4.00 system. </p>

<p>FI is the freshman index. It’s used by the University System of Georgia to convert your SAT or ACT + GPA into a standard format. The calculation is 500* UW GPA + Math SAT + CR SAT. That gives you a 3125. Generally speaking, to have a good shot at GT, you need to be at least 3200 - and that’s for in-state students. International students actually need to perform better.</p>

<p>I would also like to add He is an International student .
And he is not applying for financial aid ( Even though most of of the colleges have nee-blind admissions)</p>

<p>And 1 more question
How did u convert the percentage to GPA ?</p>

<p>This must be a trick question. Either he was rejected by all, or accepted by most. Without any hooks, he should have been rejected by all except for Drexel. Question remains: did he have any hooks?</p>

9

<p>Wait Sharjeel92 will you PM me the answers?</p>

10

<p>Denied from all.</p>

11

<p>When you list SAT 2, do you mean he took three SAT II exams and you added them, or that he took the SAT I a second time? That higher score on the SAT would make a big difference.</p>

<p>I converted the GPA like this: (.86+.93+.80+.90) = 3.49 If that’s not right, that would also make a difference. Does the school have an A = XX% conversion chart?</p>

12

<p>Rejected by all except GA Tech (WL then accept) and Drexel.</p>

13

<p>

</p>

<p>You can’t do that dude, this dude is talking about percentages on National Indian Board Exams that have cutoffs similar to the AP’s (aka 33%=Pass, 40%= Third Division, 50%=Second Division, 60%= First Division), it’s extremely difficult to score that high, as far as GPA is concerned that is more like a 4.0 UW. </p>

<p>I would think it went down like this:</p>

<p>UPenn-rejected
Cornell-rejected
Brown-rejected
MIT-rejected
U Michigan-accepted
Drexel-accepted
Duke-rejected
Princeton- rejected
Ga Tech- accepted</p>

14

<p>yea you are international so its basically impossible to all the top schools.
However, UMichigan I think is a match.</p>

15

<p>No hooks … no shooks :stuck_out_tongue: …
He has taken SAT 1 – once
SAT II - three subjects as stated above - I am sorry i do not know the Individual scores …</p>

16

<p>def. take SAT again.</p>

17

<p>More people Guess .
I am sorry but i am not going to PM any 1 the results …</p>

18

<p>Time to announce the results </p>

<p>UPenn - Rejected
Cornell - Rejected
Brown - Accepted (He is going to brown)
MIT - Rejected
U Michigan - Accepted
Drexel - Accepted
Duke - Accepted
Princeton - Rejected
Ga Tech - Accepted</p>
