<p>Hey, I'm planning on applying to H&SS but I have a lowish GPA lots of AP classes and stellar SAT Scores. I know that it would probably be in my best interest to apply EDI or II, however I my SAT scores were 600+ but not where I wanted them 720+. And I did not take the required Math I or II.
So I was wondering if I can still apply for the Early Decision II deadline (Dec 1st) and send in my scores later? I know that probably seems ridiculous and does not make any sense but I'm just asking. </p>
<p>My GPA is my main problem, and I know applying ED would heighten my chances of getting in, but I do not think it is possible due to my SAT II dilemma. </p>
<p>Feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!</p>
<p>You need the SAT II scores. When’s the next SAT II date?
Also how low is a low GPA?</p>
<p>I’m sorry I meant IS or CFA. that’s where I want to apply.
My GPA is Around 3.24 unweighted. 8 APs by the end of this year honors courses did two french courses in one year. SAT=700 math and reading 750 writing.
World history 600 us history 630. (retaking). Essays so far= excellent so are recommendations.
How stiff is competition for piano at CFA? How about IS? should I get an interview? Would that heighten my chances</p>
<p>CFA is really difficult but not GPA/test score based. You should be fantastic at performance.</p>
<p>IS isn’t as competitive as the other schools but you should try to aim for higher test scores to make up for your lack-luster GPA. You’re not doomed but you do need to get everything else as polished as possible to increase your chances.</p>
