Reach-SAT is low compared to most accepted applicants. If there is time take 1 more SAT to get it closer to 1500.

Is the class ranking correct? If your GPA is that high shouldn’t you be in the top 10%?

@Hamurtle Thank you for the response! Yes, those GPAs are correct, everyone in my school has high GPAs like those. There is usually a cluster in the top 10 and there are literally 50 people tied for one places that bumps me down to 74 unfortunately. Even though 74 is kind of low, it is pretty good considering my school.

Does your school send the class ranks with the transcript? Top 20 percent or second decile should be all right.

If the 1360 SAT is correct that could be a red flag. I would definitely retake as that score isn’t in the 25% range of accepted students.

Any AP tests taken?

My school does report transcripts. And yes, last year I took 3 AP exams and scored 4s on all of them, but forgot to self report them:/. @Hamurtle
