<p>I believe your GPA is slightly lower than it should be for admission to the Top20. As you do have the perk of being URM, I think you do still stand a chance as your standardized test scores bring your up. I think you should apply and you would be a competitive applicant at any of these schools. :)</p>

Would appreciate some advice back :)</p>
<p>U Chicago: High Match/Low Reach
Emory: High Match
NW: High Match
Vandy: High Match
Duke: low Reach</p>
<p>Your ECs, SATs are strong, and as we all know, being African American does help on an application. Your GPA is on the low side, but just make sure you have strong essays.</p>
