<p>Do you think the same person would have a better chance at :</p>
<p>Cornell with a 4.1 GPA</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>Princeton with a 4.41 GPA</p>
<p>2200 SAT</p>
<p>4’s on 4 AP Tests</p>
<p>Many EC’s</p>
<p>Princeton uses only 10th and 11th Grade when calculating GPA, therefore, the reason for the GPA difference.</p>
<p>I believe neither cornell nor princeton calculates a weighted GPA. They use unweighted…</p>
<p>Strictly statistically speaking, I think you would have a better chance at Cornell. Then again, you could have a great or horrible chance at both schools depending on your personal qualities and ECs.</p>
<p>cornell, pton wants 5s on aps</p>
<p>“Princeton uses only 10th and 11th Grade when calculating GPA, therefore, the reason for the GPA difference.”</p>
<p>??? Is that true? If so then woot! My 3.4 GPA won’t be so bad this year.</p>
<p>I got into Princeton ED with one 3 and one 4 on the two AP exams that I’ve taken… my SAT score was also 2200. Try for both if you can.</p>
<p>I believe they both use weighted GPA’s, correct?</p>
<p>i’m almost positive cornell recalculates your GPA and i thought princeton did too…</p>
<p>they recalculate it with AP’s and honors counting as extra point, right?</p>
<p>I think they recalculate it as an unweighted GPA, but that is just my impression. I doubt that they give extra points for honors and APs because the level system is different at every school.</p>
<p>If Pton only looks at 10th and 11th grade reports, then would a B on the mid-year report hurt me a lot?</p>
<p>Wow… a discussion actually related the original topic.</p>
<p>Take a look at the same thread in the Cornell forum … last time I checked they were flaming about Fascists and morons :p</p>
<p>eeeeh, they were on topic pretty much up until post #30 when prelewd asked “dude why are engineers so good at the sat.” hahaha</p>
