Only applying to these private schools along with a bunch of safeties.
I have a 3.2 gpa and 3.8 weighted gpa. My freshmen and sophomore year were rough, but I was able to get a 4.0, with AP classes, my junior year. My SAT is 1830.
I know Occidental is a bit of a reach for me, but by how much? According to their CDS, they focus on rigor of class and extracurriculars, which I’ve been told I’m pretty great in. I’m lacking statistically, but how will other factors affect me? Is it worth a try?
