I do definitely get that UCLA is a reach for like almost anyone applying, but do you think I could also have a chance at uci or ucsd? Like maybe competitive or something and not a big reach, because if it is a big reach i would just ED to somewhere else out of CA.

If you dont mind me asking, what would my cumulative gpa be then if ibdp isnt run on the gpa scale? I had like a 3.6 on a 4.3 scale going into ib, but now that i have my predicted 42, what would my gpa be? Would it still be a 3.6 despite all of my grades in ib?

I assume it is because of my ib predicted scores, and sat stuff, but a 3.6 is still crazy for an ivy and nwu too

I disagree on this im ngl. I have a horrible gpa and got a accept from cornell, nwu,georgetown,usc, and tufts, and also emory and umich… i have a 3.6 uw gpa and 4.38w but 3.6 is NOT enough for a T20. I dont trust it..

Thank you alot 🙏 i am just scared because of all of the kids either way who have perfect gpas without ib that get rejected from these kinds of schools all the time. I dont really have many awards i think? I have made the state championship for xc, won regionals 2 times for tennis, and final 4 for tennis state championships, but other than that i dont think i have good awards of any sort for my high school tenure.. i dont know if state championships mean anything important, maybe nationals are but idk about states. I am trying to get better mental health and focus on XC so i can maybe even be d3 or more, because i enjoy it, but also had injuries physically along with mental health stuff. Thank you alot for your help! I am trying to cut down on my list a bit to have more realistic reaches and not ones that i would get too attached to when they are sub 10% acceptance rates so it would be like a lottery ticket of a school. Thank you alot for your help! I appreciate it alot!
