<p>In terms of college I am very nervous.
Ill get to the point, can a 2300+ SAT compensate for a 3.4-3.6 GPA when you are a URM at an all white school? (That sent 3 kids an ivy, but sends most kids to Rutgers/Penn state) </p>
<p>Is a competitive college still in the running?</p>
<p>Yes I believe that a 2300 can make up for a 3.4 but I wouldn’t consider it a problem if your average is over a 90. Then it doesn’t even matter.</p>
<p>Competitive, yes. Top? More info needed. What type of urn? How rigorous were the classes? Rank?</p>
<p>Competitive schools: HYPS
URM status - Black
Rigor of classes- six AP classes by the end junior year
Rank- top 15%</p>
<p>wow. GPA and class rank are still problematic for those tippy top school choices. URM tip is marginal here. Try to knock out a great Senior year 1st semester GPA. </p>
<p>Maybe not likely at HYPS but I’m sure your demonstrated abilities will land you in an excellent school. Best of luck to you.</p>
<p>Agree, hyps will be tough, they have their choice of top black students from this and Many countries, but many great schools will bite.</p>
<p>^Agreed. Without top 10%, you’re probably out of luck. Still, other top schools, especially LACs, which traditionally hurt more for diversity, will probably be happy to have you.</p>
<p>^ Without top 1%, you’re already poking at it with a stick pretty much.</p>
