hi , im an international student looking to transfer to the US , i did the IB. For the transfer application they want a secondary school final report . For the final report do i only have to submit my gpa not my actual ib grade ?, and i took a gap year and am now in my first year , i was considering retaking some of my exams to improve my score , do colleges frown upon this , will they even be able to see that i have retaken a couple of exams. In addition , for the final report , they want the GPA , do i give them the gpa which is based upon my predicted grades which was in my final high school report (GPA of 3.54), or the gpa from my the final grades i got after the exam which is (GPA 3.3).In addition i got a pretty good score in the sat (over 2200) is a GPA of 3.3 in high school a really bad score will it effect my chances . I am tryng to make sure that i get a GPA of above 3.9 during my first year of university. will that help . Overall , what do you think my chances are of getting into a place like georgetown or Brown ,Hopkins is my dream school ? could i get in ? is it worth applying with these grades ?
