I go to a competitive magnet school, and getting a 4.0 junior year is very rare and difficult- all of my sophomore and freshmen classes were taught at the honors level, due to the nature of my school.

<p>Thanks in Advance! I am most worried about my freshman year GPA, I hope this won't hold me back too much. </p>

<p>I will chance back. </p>

<p>Please also recommend some safety schools. I know that these schools are very difficult. I am also thinking of applying ED to Penn or SCEA to Princeton. </p>

<p>Boston College, Vanderbilt and UC Berkeley sound like safeties to me, considering your scores…
Basically, you’re pretty competitive. Of course Princeton, UPenn, Brown, Dartmouth are competitive. Both the others all sound reasonable.</p>

<p>If you’re an American and likes sciences AND is concerned with fees, early Princeton.
If you’re international and has diversified interests, early UPenn.</p>

<p>You sound like me, apart from better scores LOL.
Chance back.</p>
