<p>Ehh… Don’t really wanna disappoint you, but you’re way below average for those schools… Maybe look into some easier ones? o.o</p>

<p>Sorry, but I don’t think you have a shot at any of those schools, to be honest. Your GPA, rank, and standardized test scores are much too low. It seems as though you want to attend a school in the south, some schools you may want to consider are Tulane or the University of Miami.</p>

<p>Unfortuantely, I think these are all way out of reach. Your GPA and test scores are killing you. I agree to look into Tulane and UofM. Good luck.</p>
