<p>The large improvement in your GPA each year shows ambition and ability to cope with a rigorous academic schedule - excellent. Your SAT scores are solid, but only about average for most of the schools on your current list. Your “hooks” so to speak certainly don’t hurt, nor does living in the same state as your number one choice. I’d say as a whole you have an excellent chance at UVA, VaTech, and probably Carnegie Mellon, a relatively good chance at Georgetown and JHU, and the other schools, being the Ivy are a reach- but they are for almost all applicants.</p>

<p>Im confused. Is your GPA out of 5? If so, it seems a little low, but if you had any grade deflation or it is unusual at your school, that may be okay (check Naviance if your school offers it!).</p>

<p>The SAT seems very generic for most of those tier 1 schools. Try to see if you can up it to 2200+, but as it stands it is by no means bad.</p>

<p>Your EC seem focused and good. Nothing outstanding or noticeable, but pretty solid nonetheless.</p>

<p>Your hooks help a bit, as well as living in VA. Here’s my thoughts:</p>

<p>UVA (In-State) - Match(not unlikely youll get in)
VTech - low match to match (most likely will get in)
John’s Hopkins - match to low reach (depends if youre going into premed?)
Georgetown - high match to low reach
Brown - low reach to reach
Carnegie - high match
Cornell - low reach to reach
Columbia SEAS - reach
Cal Poly - very high reach
Princeton (since they don’t look at the freshman year GPA) - reach to high reach (It’s Princeton. It’s always a reach.)</p>

<p>Upping your SAT would help considerably, and a higher GPA wouldn’t hurt. You’re basically set on EC’s it seems, so those are probably the two biggest factors in your control.</p>

<p>The GPA is out of 4, it’s weighted.
My UW GPA is around a 3.72</p>

<p>However, UVA takes whatever GPA is reported, and my school will report this GPA.</p>
