<p>What is your unweighted GPA?</p>

<p>Your GPA is at the lower end on the “typical” Villanova applicant but your CR+M SATs are around the 50th%-tile, combined with your service, and sports ECs I consider it a match/safety. [Villanova</a> University: Admission Statistics](<a href=“http://www1.villanova.edu/villanova/admission/overview/undergrad/statistics.html]Villanova”>http://www1.villanova.edu/villanova/admission/overview/undergrad/statistics.html)</p>

<p>For BC your Math SAT is obviously at the 99th%-tile though a CR of 590 is surprisingly low (below the 25th%-tile). I suspect your UWGPA will be average for BC. I’d call it a match/probable acceptance.</p>

<p>The story for USC is similar though your GPA will be below the mid-point of the most recent class.

<p>Assuming your UWGPA is around 3.6, the only major flaw in your profile is your CR of 590.</p>

<p>With a weighted GPA of 3.8 you must have gotten your share of C’s in your AP courses? My son GC indicated the competitive schools do not like to see that. Your testing is good except for reading, what happened there, your writing is really good?</p>

<p>would you say my chances at maybe Notre Dame or Georgetown would be good as well? i know those would be harder to get into but do you think i would have a reasonable chance?</p>
