GPA is not all that important lol
But I have a 95/100 (about 3.8/4.0) and a 36 ACT superscore
merry pawn
I'm not 100% sure if that's what my GPA coverts to on a 4.0 scale
I used to check all the time
But uhhhh
I haven't checked in a while lol
But I think it's about a 3.85 ish?
primal needle
I read somewhere as indian education is also out of 100
So 92+ or something is considered 4.0
As it grants you the top grade A+
merry pawn
It doesn't convert nicely like that, like my official GPA is 95/100 but I have a few scores in the high 80s and some in the high 90s which means if my school did 4.0 I would not have a perfect GPA
And I also went to a different school for a semester that has a completely different grading scale but it isn't factored into my official GPA
primal needle
Oh yeah same situation all high 90s but one in 80s
🫠just chill bro if u have high 90s then u gona cross the academic review
Grades r just a threshold
merry pawn
I have like ~3 in the high 80s I think
primal needle
Chilling 😄 dw
If u get an interview or any document request, just be sure that u cleared the academic review
merry pawn
Oh I remembered a while back that if I got rid of all my non academic courses (i.e. no PE, art, any electives, just pure STEM and humanities) and got rid of my courses from the one semester I went to a different school, I would have a 3.84 (not including first semester senior year)
I'm too lazy to calculate my GPA if I added all those easy A classes back
But it would be higher I guess
So 3.84 is maybe a bit on the lower end for Yale-tier schools but hopefully my ACT makes up for it
primal needle

according to chatgpt lol
I feel like it should be lower
I don't trust chatgpt
Is it obvious I'm anxious about my gpa? 😭
yep chatgpt is wrong it's exactly a 3.9 if I add on all the other random courses
But that should be good enough to get me at least considered

I think out of all Yale interviews, around ~10% get admitted?
Def a higher rate than normal rd
zenith iron
it just means that admissions want more info from an applicant
I think it depends because there were no questions about my ECs or anything asked in my interview

I think out of all Yale interviews, around ~10% get admitted?
I think it’s more tbh because only 15% get interviewed
10% of 15 is 1.5
And the Yale AR is 3% for Rd
Si probably closer to 20%
