<p>I know my GPA and leadership is a bit lacking. Any suggestions on how I could obtain some positions this late in my junior year? </p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>

<p>People get into Brown with 3.6s, now there’s a fine summarization of your application. You want us to chance you, I hope that was a rhetorical statement. You are more than eligible, show some passion toward a specific field. All in all, a fine laundry list :wink: just kidding I hope you succeed in life</p>

<p>Thank you very much!</p>

<p>If you are an athletic recruit, then you have a good chance. Otherwise I don’t think you are ivy league bound. Sorry.</p>

<p>DO NOT RETAKE YOUR ACT. It’s just fine and is good enough to get into all your dream schools. Focus on improving in other areas (GPA, essays)</p>

<p>Thank you- I’m a good writer so my essays will most likely be great. I’m also trying really hard to bump up my GPA.
Do any of you have suggestions about my EC’s?</p>
