#1

I took all honors except PE elective with one AP class sophomore year, Junior year I took all IB and AP classes. So how is a 3.7 viewed? Any insight would be appreciated.

#2

A smidge on the low side for an unhooked applicant, but in the ballpark.

#3

Also depends on grading at your school. Are you top 5%, 10%? If not, then agreed it will be on the low side.

#4

I am
First gen and my parents are immigrants if that is any hook?

#5

First gen makes you a desirable applicant…might not be as strong as a hook though.

Are you a URM?

Are you a US citizen?
