<p>You fall nicely into their SAT ranges and your extracurriculars are darn good. It’s your ACT that’s going to hurt you. I think both of those schools are matches for you.</p>

<p>^ i think firesoul means your GPA is going to hurt you. at least it’s trending upward?</p>

<p>write good essays highlighting your ECs, maybe retake the SAT to try to super score it and get something a little better? should be fine as is, but a little higher would help to hide your poor gpa.</p>

<p>****Wowww I don’t even know what language I’m talking in anymore. Yes. GPA. Sorry.</p>
