Chance me: Cornell, Boston College, Bucknell, UPenn

<p>I go to a academically rigorous private high school, which doesn't offer AP courses (all courses are advanced though, and this is done because my high school doesn't like to teach students for a test). I have a 3.7 weighted GPA, and have never gotten a grade lower than a B. My school doesn't rank, but I am in the first quartile for GPAs. I got a 2020 superscore (CR 650, M 670, W 700) on the SAT, and my highest individual score was a 1980 (CR 650, M 670, W 660). I started out with a 1720 on the SAT and brought my score up. I have solid extra curriculars (Head of IT club, varsity golf and softball, school admissions host, leader of 13 students during summer tech job all four years, student tech teacher and church community service). I have learning differences. I am positive I will have good recs.</p>

<p>Your GPA is far too low for all of these schools. Your SAT barely reaches these schools expectations (too low for ivies). Your ECs are up to par with these schools, but I don’t see anything that is close to making up for the SAT/GPA.</p>

<p>Cornell: High Reeach
Penn: High High Reach
Boston College: Reach
Bucknell: High Reach</p>

<p>Probably won’t help but my dad is a continuously donating alum at Cornell. And Boston College asks that you submit all learning difference testing evaluations with your application to be reviewed by a separate team of faculty.</p>

<p>You need to be focusing on other schools.</p>

<p>Haha. I am. I applied to 6 others and got into two with merit scholarships.</p>

<p>Good stuff. Best of luck to you.</p>
