will i be at a disadvantage with my gpa?

Although this was written in a confusing way, your GPA is fine. For you girls that didn't give a care in HS, your 2.6 (84) average will not help you in rush! Should've studied!

You only send us your 3.5 weighted. Why on earth would you put a lower one on your resume? With a 3.5 you will not be cut because of grades, but you very well could be cut for something else. Your test scores also factor in. We have cut girls with near a 4.0 because they didn't take challenging classes and had an 18-20 ACT. Indicates college may overwhelm them when they don't have a choice about harder classes. So if you have over a 3.5 and over a 24 ACT houses will be encouraged to keep you because of grades. But keep in mind several hundred other girls will have those same grades and better, so cuts will be made and things outside of grades will become a factor.
