<p>Is having a bad GPA like a 3.82 for instance with 6-7 B’s a bad thing for a highly selective college?</p>
<p>depends
SATs?
ECs?
Essays?
URM?
All of those are factors, you need to be more specific</p>
<p>lets say along with outstanding SATs, ECs and essays.</p>
<p>Are asians considered URM?</p>
<p>Oh yeah a 3.82 is such bad GPA. You basically fail at life sorry. Go to a community college.</p>
<p>well, that is a tricky question. I will leave that one to people who are better versed, but youre chances are not dead.</p>

<p>true. jesus.</p>
<p>is this GPA weighted or not?</p>
<p>not weighted.</p>
<p>Asians ≠ URMs</p>
<p>Asians = ORMs</p>
<p>Over.Represented.Minorities</p>
<p>ORM
lol
yeah pretty much
sorry</p>
<p>how do you get a 3.82 with 6 or 7 B’s? I don’t think that is possible if it’s unweighted.</p>
<p>yeah you can, you just have to have a lot more A’s</p>
<p>6-7 B’s and still a 3.82? I dont see how that would work. </p>
<p>But 3.82 is good enough for any college, as long as the courseload is rigorous.</p>
<p>That could work if the B’s were exam grades or just quarter grades that somehow turned themselves magically into A’s. At my school the grade cards show the grades for each quarter and each exam, even though those only make a part of the final grade.</p>
<p>It won’t look bad if you took a bunch of AP classes. If they’re regular, then they’ll think you suck at cake classes.</p>
<p>Check the Cornel ED threat. Some got in with as low as 3.6UW GPA. Some got in to Stanford SCEA with GPA as low as 3.4, but he has high SAT score and went to a competitive high school, plus he is a URM. Pick a college that is not stat conscious</p>
<p>This is a moronic thread. 3.82 is nowhere near bad…</p>
<p>3.82 is a pretty good GPA. So you’re not perfect, neither am I. I have around a 3.8. It’s all about the context of your high school. There are many other factors that colleges consider in order to admit you. Don’t lose any sleep over you “horrible” GPA</p>
<p>whats SCEA?</p>
