<p>I know my GPA is awfully low and my ECs aren't spectacular. I'm really worried that a large portion of my schools are reach schools, and I'm applying to environmental engineering and computer science/engineering programs, which are said to be far more competitive than most colleges' stats show. Could I get some feedback on what my chances at these schools are, and if I should consider applying other places?</p>

<p>Everything looks fine except that UW GPA, I believe most of those schools on that list of Uni’s require a bare minimum of like 3.5-3.6 UW GPA. Your ECs are fine but your Scores are amazing. I say you have a good chance for most except Dartmouth and Berkeley, average chances. Best of luck! :slight_smile: chance me!</p>

<p>I think you should consider what was low in your gpa and provide some kind of explanation. This is just my opinion, but if you imagine the gpa and SAT charts on many websites you are kind of an outlier. If you provide an excellent essay I believe you will be that one green dot thats towards the x-axis :slight_smile: GOOD LUCK YOU CAN DO IT. I totally believe in proving others wrong. You have what it takes that much is obvious from your SAT score. As an admissions officer for ivies I would not discount you immediately. Keep my attention with a fantastic essay and you are in :)</p>

<p>About half of the schools you are applying to are reach schools considering your GPA and lack of ECs. However, the amount of AP classes and SAT score fall within the middle 50% range. I believe that you would need to talk about something you enjoy doing that is unique and different from all the other applicants, and make sure that you essay is REALLY GOOD!
