Will a 2380 SAT compensate for a 3.75 out of 4 unweighted GPA when applying to Ivy league colleges? It's 3.75 b/c I failed freshman year but got a 3.85 sophmore and a 4.0 junior GPA.
GPA...Ivy League...SAT?!?!?
Wow, I would kill for your SAT score. But not for your GPA. No offense, but I prefer mine...
As for your application, make sure you have more than just scores. They want to see depth to you, so try doing other stuff.
I've heard that people with perfect scores sometimes don't get in. Remember, a lot of people are applying too, and have perfect scores too. So, make sure you also have back up schools.
Reply:Those reading the application could interpret the "relatively" low GPA as a sign of laziness, but in this case since it improved year-to-year you'll probably be OK in that regard.
Of course, the Ivy Leagues want strong SATs, GPA/ranks, AND SAT Subject Tests. Hope you have all of that and more...academic awards, leadership examples, great essay, community service, extracurriculars, etc.
Do consider other schools as well, just to be sure!
Reply:Yeah, you should be OK, your SAT and current performance show your potential. Just be prepared to explain what happened Freshman year in both your application essays and in your interview. Given this twist to your record, I'd recommend interviewing on campus.
Reply:I think some schools disregard freshman year grades in their decisions anyway
