<p>So this is my situation:
I attend one of this nations best high schools.its been ranked among the top twenty.it is highly competitive, kids get into harvard, princeton, nyu, cornell, yale, etc
I have a 3.58 gpa, head captain of varsity volleyball team, founder of Classical Film club, millions of extracurriculars, horrible sat score-1690 but have a rigorous course load, all APs and honors for four years
My top school- Boston University
Pretty much everyone in my class applied to BU, most got in, I didnt
My boyfriend got in- he attends one of this country's worst high schools- same exact SAT score, a much lower gpa, no extra curriculars, nothing
I appealed the decision- what are my chances & what are my chances of getting in if i transfer for spring semester or sophomore year. for now i am enrolled at Rutgers University</p>
<p>Omg. I have the same stats as you:</p>
<p>3.56 GPA and 1690 SAT. I didn’t get in either! I was so mad. 
If you check my posts from before you’ll see how ****ed off and disappointed I was. Let me know how your appeal went. I didn’t bother with an appeal.</p>
<p>If you are going to appeal, you have to send in like an award you recieved or something. Something to change their minds. As for transferring, just kick ass at Rutgers. A high GPA will get you in.</p>
<p>to be fair, a 1690 is pretty low and a 3.58 isn’t incredibly high. you say you go to a prestigious high school, so a low SAT score is definitely a flag. and i don’t think you should talk about your decision in context of others - especially when appealing.</p>
<p>(and they’re a large university, they probably won’t consider appeals)</p>
