<p>If I'm reading your stats correctly your unweighted GPA is around 3.0, and you must have taken about 10 year-long honors courses to get the 3.5 W GPA you are saying you have.</p>
<p>Therefore the only four schools on this list you have any kind of chance at (unless you plan to play sports at them) are Virginia Tech, Northeastern, Pitt, and Illinois--and only because your SATs are so high. I rate your chances at these as:</p>
<p>Virginia Tech-match to slight reach
Pitt--match to slight reach
Illinois-match to slight reach
Northeastern-slight reach</p>
<p>All the others are:
Carnegie Mellon-reach
U Maryland-reach
Northwestern-no chance
Cornell--no chance
U Michigan-reach
Columbia--no chance</p>
<p>Perhaps you computed this GPA incorrectly though--in which case, please repost and we'll re-do the chances.</p>
<p>yea 4.43/6 is weighted and my unweighted is around 3.4-3.5</p>
