<p>GPA looks a little low, and the predicted SAT score certainly isn't bad, but it isn't stellar. If you could get it up, I think it would help. If you do well grade-wise next year, I think you have an okay shot.
Good luck. :)</p>

<p>Downward GPA trend, average SAT score, no clubs/awards, currently not on any varsity sport team, no hook....</p>

<p>Advice: Stop being lazy!!! Be more realistic...</p>

<p>Duke - 1% chance
Emory - 10% chance
Rice - 10% chance
UCSD - maybe?</p>
