<p>What are some good schools (top 50 universities) that I can apply to with a 3.2 gpa and a 2110 on my SATs (710/710/690 and waiting for results from October). My Junior year gpa was a 3.6 in 3 AP and 2 honors courses (all academic), and I have two 5s and two 4s on my AP tests. My sophomore grades were atrocious... ECs include 4 year varsity soccer, Academy soccer, music stuff (school related and recorded a CD), community service, varsity track and volleyball, steady job. I am thinking of applying early decision to NYU CAS. My dad went to Stern for post-grad, but I don't know if that matters since they are different colleges. Are there any other schools that I might have a chance at? (I gravitate towards urban schools but I'll take any suggestions)
tl;dr 3.2 gpa (3.6 jr year) 710/710/690 SATs 4.5 average on 4 APs ED to NYU CAS possible?</p>
<p>bump… is my format wrong or something?</p>
<p>Realistically none. Of course you could apply to all 50, but realistically you won’t get in. Your GPA is very low for top schools, ideally you would have at least a 3.8, a 3.9-4.0 for the most competitive. A low GPA and high test scores implies laziness. On a side note you should be looking for schools that you truly like, not just schools that are highly ranked.</p>
<p>I think you do have a chance. My DS was accepted to 3 top 50 universities and waitlisted at a top 5 university with similar stats to yours and no hook.</p>
<p>Remember that just because it is not a top 50 school does not mean that it is not good.
With a 2110 SAT you can easily get into U of Alabama and recieve a garanteed Full Tuition OOS Scholarship. Plus you would be able to get into the Honors College. </p>
<p>Top 50 doesnt matter for Undergrad unless you want to be a Wall Street, Ibanker, or Big time Acadeamia. As long as you go to a repectable insituion that has a decent or better reputation for your intended major, you can go pretty much anywhere. And with a High SAT score you can get some really good money. Debt cripples many and with a 2110 SAT and low GPA you can be sure that unless your really poor, you will pay alot out of pocket for a Top 50 School</p>
<p>NYU CAS is a reach in ED; what’s your intended major?</p>
