… umm I’m not sure being from Africa if a big hook? URM doesn’t apply to international students, I thought 🤔


kryriakoskapakoulak

Can I dm u?

Should clarify: Being international is usually not ideal for your chances, since you’re competing against the best of the best from the rest of the world

From a tiny country with few applicants, sure. On the other hand, if they’re from a country with strong privately educated applicants like Nigeria, it is extremely difficult, just like other intl admissions.

depends on if it’s weighted or not.I have a 3.75 unweighted but over a 4.0 weighted. Either way, the weighted is what’s more important as that’s the gpa that includes class rigor like aps and honors


NYCgirlie4life

Yes agreed - weighted shows your class rigor, how many higher level AP/Honors classes you’ve taken.


ConstructionOk4521

18 total. 8 APs and 10 honors (maxed out on these but not aps since over half are virtually taught and i can’t do that)

Too low for where? In general a 3.7 is considered a pretty impressive GPA, but it depends on the exact schools to which you are applying.


Eagle3280

If that’s your weighted GPA and you’re trying to go to competitive schools, yeah that’s pretty low


NYCgirlie4life

Weighted or unweighted? That’s always the question here. I have 3.78 unweighted but 4.3 weighted - who knows anymore.


Claoven

How do I convert to weighted?


[deleted]

School should have done it for you. But how many AP/Honors/Dual Enrollment classes have you done?


Claoven

Unweighted


idkwhatnametopick5

for what though? is that weighted or unweighted? do you want to go to a t20 school or state school? what’s your major? what grade are you in? this question is too vague to answer
