Question about my GPA

with some sense i think you’ll come to realize that

1. you can’t get into a college solely based on GPA

2. it depends what classes you’re taking. The whole getting a B in AP BC Calc is better than an A in Geometry obviously holds true. (Although it’d be nice to get an A in calc, too)

3. there is a whole range of GPAs. you know you’re in the upper range. I had a 3.91 unweighted at the end of jr yr. if you told us you had a GPA of 3.0 that would be rather iffy BUT there’s still a chance. people get in from all GPA levels. your chances are increased with a good GPA. Wharton doesn’t have a certain cutoff or anything…

4. i think rank is kind of important. our school doesn’t, but if you’re 25/100 even w/ that GPA then perhaps you should work on it (that’d be crazy)

anyway that’s my two cents.
and what do you mean points added to your grade for taking honors/aps? like… being weighted…?
