<p>I took a difficult course of classes throughout highschool so I have 9 APs done, and most likely 12 by graduation.
-edit- I think I took the most rigorous load possible. Still, this harmed my GPA… Also, I have an upward trend from every semester from soph to end of junior year</p>

<p>Chances please for (longer list than usual, sorry, because I’m not set on a definitive list yet):
(Early) Brown
(Early) UPenn
UC Berkeley
UCLA
UCSD
UMich @ Ann Arbor
USC
Northwestern
WashU in St Louis
Emory
Rice</p>

<p>you can only apply to one college early just to let u know</p>

<p>What is the UNWEIGHTED GPA? This is the GPA that most schools will want to see.</p>

4

<p>Unweighted 3.56
and yeah i know I can only apply to 1 early, I’m still deciding between the two but I know it’ll be either penn or brown</p>

5

<p>you should go for penn you have a much better chance of getting in. 31% to 20%</p>
