You’ll get in, no question. Probably not honors college, but you’re a safe bet for the school

Yeah, I think you’ll get in, but I’m just a little weirded out by your profile. How do you have a 3.64 UW and get salutatorian? How is your WGPA 1.7 points higher than your UW, with only 7 APs? It just strikes me as odd.

You might want to retake the SAT if you want to get into the honors college, but other than that, you have a really impressive profile :slight_smile:

The 1.7 point higher GPA isn’t very odd it just depends on your school’s GPA weighting policy.
