<p>Please someone?
At least skim over it before you post?</p>

<p>I’m not sure what your weighted GPA is - but your URM status, combined with a compelling essay on cattle ranching (very cool BTW) and speaking multiple languages will certainly boost your chances. </p>

<p>You’re in at your safeties.</p>

4

<p>for the ivies id say that your sat and gpa should probably be a bit higher but your URM status definitely bumps you up
what do you plan on majoring in?</p>

<p>good luck btw!</p>

5

<p>Political Science or International Relations.</p>

<p>As far as I know, you know how these things change.
So I were to bring my GPA up to 3.9 (I’m basically almost there)
and my SAT score up to 2200.
My school DOESN’T weigh GPA, so all there is is UW.
I’m in all advanced classes where I can be though.
I would have a good chance?</p>

<p>and Thanks skyisblue :], I was thinking of incorporating ethnic backgrounds (Hispanic that is) with Ranching.</p>

<p>Everything is going to be a reach for you, because that is simply the nature of the beast (for the schools you mentioned).</p>

<p>What state are you from?</p>

7

<p>Texas, so as long as I get my application in early to UT, I basically have a spot. I wouldn’t mind going to UT, I would just prefer to go to one of the other. Plus the only way my parents will pay OOS is if I get into a REALLY good school. </p>

<p>Thanks for being honest :]</p>

<p>Bump!!!</p>
