I recently applied to a number of prestigious institutions. Little did i know that my high school did not have a weighted GPA, so the GPA did not factor in honors/AP classes. After my transcripts were sent out, I argued this with the school, and the entire GPA system was reworked to use the state system. Upon getting credit for the honors and AP classes, my GPA jumped from a 3.22 to a 3.92. A couple of weeks have passed, and I am beginning to receive letters of rejection from some colleges. I know it wasnt becuase of SAT scores (680 700, 770; 2150) so I am wondering if the fact that my GPA was very low affected the decision. If so, is there anything I can do about it?
