Chance me Cornell CALS and Dartmouth

I moved twice in high school so the class rank is wrong and the gpa is converted between schools… also thats why EC’s are weird. Teachers didn’t know me that well, but I had two additional recs that knew me better.

Also applying to Grinnell, UC Berkeley, and Colorado College

Chance me? Hoping work experience will stand out and that they will understand the weakness of ec’s because I moved across the country 2 times.

Your GPA is still very good considering your circumstances. The fact that you founded your own club should stand out in your ECs. I’m not sure how much work experience is considered but your course rigor and test scores display your academic ability. I would say Cornell and Dartmouth are mid-high reaches and Berkeley is a low reach. Match for Grinnell and Colorado. Best of luck!

Thanks… im hoping the work experience helps

keep in mind UCB engineering is much more difficult to get into. furthermore, BME at UCB is one of the tougher majors. This makes it a high reach.

OH, sorry everyone, that unweighted GPA is wrong, I copied somone’s chance me thread for the format and that came with it-- Mine technically with my new schools transcript is 96.22 w/ 97.2 weighted…
