I’ve been very sick for a long period of time in sophomore year which hurt my grades but I’ve done my best to maintain them.
Schools applying to:
Reach:
Tulane
UNC
Emory
(I highly doubt it for Emory and UNC but my mom thinks I have a solid chance lol)
Target:
UMD
Gettysburg College
U of Miami
Villanova
Lafayette College
Safety:
St. Marys college of Maryland
Towson University
American University
I plan to major in Psychology and I’ll definitely apply early action to all the schools I can.
I honestly don’t know if I have a good chance in any of these schools considering I don’t feel like I have any spectacular thing about me that separates me from anyone else. Do you think i have any chance for these schools???
Are you a NC resident? I would say that UNC is a moderate reach if so; it’s a huge reach from out-of-state with existing stats, but a perfect spring term and a bump in test scores might make it a little more realistic. It would still be a reach, though. Emory is a reach. Will you need financial aid? You might have a shot at admission to Tulane, but I think you probably won’t qualify for merit aid, and they are very stingy otherwise. Again, a score increase could alter that scenario. My son got into Tulane with comparable stats, but they offered him no money. He was a full-IB student, though, with some additional APs (his unweighted GPA was a little lower than yours, but his weighted was higher). He had a lot of leadership ECs, furthermore. He did not get into UNC, which he knew was a big reach.
