Thank you for reading.

Wow congratulations on the 36! Your GPA will certainly hurt you at Ivies (Dartmouth, Brown, Cornell, Penn) but you will still have a shot because of your ACT scores. Also, some schools at those Ivies are much harder to get into than others (i.e. Wharton @ Penn), so it depends on where your interests lie and what school you’re applying to within the Ivies.

Dartmouth: Low Reach
Brown: High Match/Low Reach (Brown generally takes a more ‘holistic view’ on applicants)
Cornell: High Match/Low Reach (Generally easiest of Ivies to get in to)
Penn: Low Reach
Vandy: Match
Duke: High Match/Low Reach (if OOS only)
USC: Match
Texas: Low Match/Safety
Miami: Safety
