<p>In your opinion, what are my safe & reach schools?
Here are my stats: </p>

<p>EC's:

<p>GPA: UW 3.0/ W 3.2
AP's: Music Theory, Literature, Statistics
Gender: F
Ethnicity: Egyptian/Norwegian
SAT I: 1500 (retaking...what a horrible score!)

I think my EC's are decent and I know my grades aren't great..do you guys think I have a chance?</p>

<p>I’m sorry, but your scores are horrible. You seriously need to raise them for even a chance at these schools .</p>

<p>Thanks for reinforcing my scores…as I ALREADY KNOW THIS.
I’m a rising senior…isn’t it too late?</p>

<p>You have shown a lot of interest in the music field, but the young musicians you will be going against are not only great at music but are also superb at school (G.P.A. SAT/ACT etc.) Best of luck. I hope you get in.</p>

<p>Thank you so much! I just want to know…is there anything else I can do to raise my scores? GPA wise…I’m retaking the SATs/ACTs</p>
