3.70 Unweighted GPA, 2270 SAT I, do I even have a chance?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello, I am a Korean-American kid (currently attending an international school in Taiwan) who has been educated in English for only three years. I started off as an ESL student, but I got 2270 (710 C/R, 780 Math, 780 Writing) on the SAT I in June. I think my SAT I score is pretty good, but since my GPA is considered to be "unimpressive" by the standards of the most highly selective schools, I wonder where I should apply and where I shouldn't apply. I need some advice. By the way, I applied ED to Brown University because it's where I would really love to go. One more question. I took the SAT I again yesterday, and if I score over 2350, would my chances become higher despite my "low" GPA? </p>

<p>SAT IIs: 790 Math IIC, 770 Chem, 700 US History
AP's: 5 Chem, 4 English Language and Composition, 4 US History
National Merit Commended Scholar</p>

Grade 11</p>

<p>3.7 isn't really that low.</p>

<p>It depends on your courses I guess. If you are taking it easy and getting that GPA, then it might be a problem. Otherwise, if you've taken a difficult curriculum, it doesn't seem that bad.</p>

<p>Nice spread of schools, you should get into most. Reaches will be AWS and Columbia. The rest look like matches or mild reaches.</p>

7

<p>ISn't the USC program only for CA residents?</p>

<p>ECs?</p>

8

<p>What is your class rank?</p>

<p>Wow, nice SATs, but colleges won't let you in just on that.
What are your extracurriculars???</p>
