I am taking the 3.6 to be your UW GPA:

Vanderbilt - High Reach
USC - High Match/Low Reach
Michigan - Low Reach
Brown - High Reach (I’m not sure how much legacy will help)
UNC - High Match
UVA - Low Reach
Georgetown - High Reach
Boston College - High Match

Are you in-state for any of these schools?

You have strong extracurriculars, but your SAT and GPA are low for many of the schools that you have listed. Good luck :slight_smile:

bump

Good extracurriculars, but your GPA and scores will make most of these schools reaches.

Brown/Vanderbilt/Georgetown - High Reach
USC/Michigan - Low Reach
Boston College - High Match

Are you in-state for UNC or UVA? Because that makes a huge difference.

If you are OOS for UNC or UVA they will be reaches.

if interested in Gtown and BC, might take a look at Holy Cross(imo hc has stronger science program).

I think you will definitely get into to Wake Forest. I live in the area and know some students less qualified than you that got in early decision. Although essays are a huge factor from what I hear. Additionally you are a lock for UNC if you are in state.

Please chance back
