<p>I got in with a 1940 SAT, but my unweighted gpa was 3.98. plus i had many leadership roles in a few clubs like student government and band.
You should most definitely apply, because you never really know what’s going to happen until you get those decisions back… but try to get that SAT score up to help balance a 3.65 uw gpa.</p>

<p>and don’t think that your freshman grades won’t matter because they most definitely do. but it seems that the general trend in your grades is that you’ve been improving, which admission officers tend to like to see in weaker gpas</p>
