I know that my GPA is a major blow to my application overall but I hope the upward trend will make up for it.

Thank you so much to anyone who is willing!

Just to clarify…are you an international student?

I agree that your GPA makes these schools reaches. Emory and WashU probably higher reaches than Wake Forest. Does your HS use Naviance or Scoir? If so, how do your stats measure up to prior years’ admission history?

It looks like you have been accepted to Tulane (congrats!)…is Tulane affordable? If so and you would be happy to attend Tulane, you can certainly reach high for EDII and apply to the school you feel that is the best fit.

Good luck.
