<p>Lol I doubt I give off the lazy vibe. There is. Nothing lazy bout by ec’s, and if u read my stats carefully, you would have seen that low gpa is cuz of freshman year.</p>
<p>bumppppp;p</p>
<p>well i think its good that you improved each year, but they’re going to assume you slacked off the first two years regardless (although some schools don’t consider first year grades). I’m curious if any of your AP classes were in the first two years as you got 5 on all of your exams. I’m not sure if that would help to redeem your bad grades a bit or simply exacerbate the whole laziness issue. Nonetheless, everything else looks really solid so you should definitely get into a lot of the schools. But like everyone else, Stanford, Princeton, and Harvard are a crapshoot, so good luck!</p>
<p>I see all the Ivies/top-10s being reaches only because 1. they’re reaches for everyone and 2. although you have upward trend in GPA, there are going to be a LOT of applicants who have stayed consistently 4.0 since freshman year, and unless you have an excuse for your upward trend, I don’t even see that being an advantage. Every other school would be a match.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Stanford high reach
harvard high reach
Princeton high reach
notre dame low reach/high match
uchicago low reach/high match
upenn reach
umd college park in
-UVA match
-U of Michigan, Ann Arbor match</p>
<p>Might look at a school like Holy Cross-good school with nice campus 1 hour from Boston. HC is a smaller version of Notre Dame but easier to get into.</p>
