<p>Truly, with a 34 you should be able to get into all of the, in addition to your good ecs. Your gpa is only a little below USC and UCLAs. Berkeley may be a little more difficult but your gpa is by no means terrible, just a bit below what is typical but I still think you should get in!</p>

<p>Is there a reason you have a low GPA? While your test scores somewhat balance your GPA out, it’s still recommended that you explain your situation to Admissions.</p>

<p>Chance me back?

<p>Unfortunately, I do not have any legitimate excuse for my gpa. I am just absolutely terrible at math but am in that accelerated track (AP stats/AP calc) so those grades were horrendous at times. And I slipped up sophomore year in general just due to being a general stupid 15 year old haha</p>
