<p>i guess nothing stands out in my application except from the end of sophmore year i jumped my weighted gpa by .7 points.. finally started to work hard</p>

2

<p>why GS??</p>

<p>you said it, nothing really stands out. gpa looks low. ACT is (slightly) below average. I don’t think there is much of a chance unless you left something out</p>

3

<p>You can’t apply to GS unless you take a year off. It looks like your English sucks, so I doubt you’ll be able to do much.</p>

4

<p>Yea dude, GPA’s kinda low, no matter how challenging your high school is. Weighted GPA means nothing honestly.</p>

<p>Also, take the ACT again. 31’s a good score for 99% of the schools in the U.S. but no the Ivies.</p>

5

<p>your ec’s might annoy the admissions people, how come you never stuck with anything for your entire time at high school?
and what are your ap test scores? you can take as many aps as you’d like and it doesnt mean a thing if your scores suck.
columbia is really into reading and writing. a 25 on both reading and english isn’t going to do you any favors…</p>

<p>sorry that was harsh :(</p>
