Can you take the SAT again?
A 2250+ will increase your chances for schools like UPENN and Cornell.
What’s your CUM GPA?
Yeah I can. I proabalay will in October .
I don’t expect to get in upenn. I’m trying to get into uva
As everyone who applies to UPENN. That school will never be a safety. Try to lift your SAT score. Also, work on your EC’s. Have you taken SAT subject test?
I have taken one subject test so far. Im still waiting on my score. I have to get a 700+
Good luck!
thank you!
I am really nervous
You’re very welcome.
Don’t be. You CAN do it!
Thank you

Your (weighted) GPA is a bit low for all the schools you list. Upward trend should mitigate that somewhat.
I suggest adding W&M to your list. They seem to put a little less emphasis on class standing (grades) than UVA does, and the school seems to be nicer than VT for everything except engineering and ROTC. (If you’re progressive, you’ll probably like W&M better; if you’re conservative, you’ll probably like VT better.)
OK thanks. I plan in majoring in finance.
