I had a 4.3 GPA. Now, I transferred, and I'm taking college courses as a high school student. I maintained a 4.0 GPA. Therefore, this shows that there is no GPA inflation in my high school. Though, I have low SATs scores: 1700s. How can this be?

Consider the population of all families with two children. Representing the gender of each child using G for girl and B for boy results in four possibilities: BB, BG, GB, and GG. The gender information is sequential, with the first letter indicating the gender of the older sibling. Thus, a family having a girl first and then a boy would be denoted by a GB.

If we assume that a child is equally likely to be male or female, each of the four possibilities in the sample space for the experiment that selects at random from families with two children is equally likely.

I have been debating this for years as I have attended two on Long Island. I think Adelphi and LIU are the best. Narrowing it down to one I find difficult though!

LOL, some people claim that the two schools I mentioned are not Ivy League schools when they clearly are. They are both private and really expensive, catering to upscale students for the most part. Academic standards are high too.

Is double majoring in International relations and Environmental studies with a minor in bioengineering not worth it? do you think it is possible? how many years will this take to complete and will me having completed a minor show up anywhere on my degree?

I'm 13 right now; I know, I'm tad bit young to be asking a question about college, but I'm curious. So, I'm in 8th grade and in all gifted classes along with 2 High School Honors classes (Algebra 1 and Spanish 1). I carry a 4.33 GPA and have dreams of going to a good college for journalism to have a career in the field of journalism/broadcast journalism. I also play on an eighteen and under Showcase Travel Softball Team in South Florida. I've written some poetry that's been published in the local newspaper. I'm also applying to an "artsy" high school which requires auditions. I'm auditioning for the Communications program. The point is that I want to know what I should do or continue doing in order to get into a college like Columbia or Northwestern. Please give LOTS of details.

My GPA is a 3.5

i will start by saying my freshman year GPA was 2.95 because i hated my new school and tried to rebel.
sophmore year- 3.65
and as of now i have a 4.0 in junior year
i admit i could have done better in freshman year but whatever, there is no changing that now.
I am fine with my 3.5 GPA but why whenever i tell some one that or ask or college help, do they make that GPA seem low, i used to think anything 3.0 and above was better but people seem to think that my GPA sucks. What do you think, is it really that low and why do you think they consider it to be low.

So far about five colleges said that they wanted to hold my application until they see my semester grades. They also moved me to regular decision even though i applied early decision. Does that mean that they basically don't want me or i'm just an after thought or sloppy seconds???

I'm only a sophomore right now, but I feel that I need to know what it takes to get into prestigious colleges now as opposed to my senior year.

white male
resident of Maryland
dad went to UVA
GPA: 97.4 (our school doesn't use a 4.0 scale)
PSAT score: approx. 2000
member of soccer, basketball, and baseball teams
will apply for NHS
Class Rank: 4 (small school; I think about 350 kids/class)
***I am taking one AP class this year (US History) and our school has a curve of 1.1 for AP classes ( 88%=96.8%). I am taking the hardest classes that I can possibly take and I am planning on taking 5 AP classes during my junior year.

Obviously, at my age, I have a lot of work left to do. If I keep up my grades, do you think I will be able to get into UVA or UMD? If not, what can I do to improve my chances. If I don't have what it takes, feel free to be honest about it. Thanks!
