Other info: Male, URM, GPA is low; ADD which I wrote about ( not whole essay) in app.
All of them are reaches. ACT score is way better than SAT. As you mentioned, the GPA is low. Are there any extenuating circumstances for the low GPA?
Yes. I have ADD and my 9th grade GPA is low. I did not think I needed accommodations my school offered so I missed a lot of homework and assignment deadlines. I have lots of “Bs” which are 89s or 88s which are really about missing a single assignment. So yes, I think those are circumstances and I wrote about them in my essay
Yeh, I would look at a lower level of school.
I just wanted to update this thread. You were right, I was denied at the 3 schools. But I was admitted to Vanderbilt, WashU, UT, & AM 10 more Top Tier schools. I guess I ended up in the right spaces for me.
WashU is as good as NWern. Which one you pick?
@lemonlulu - not even close. Northwestern is in another league than Wash U.
@StanfordGSB00 both are top 20 schools, don’t need to nickel and dime.
