Unfortunately I don’t see it happening. Your GPA and test scores are just too low. You kind of have a hook with your mom working there, but even then it probably won’t make up for the stats. Remember that while ECs are important, numerical stats are basically always an indicator of success in college. Apply anyway, and work hard on your essays, but also look into good match and safety schools for your stats.
7.0 scale?
Thanks. I applied to Rutgers NB and UMD College Park as well. I am just distraught that my scores are so low even though I take very hard AP courses and have took a rigorous course load throughout high school. I feel that SAT’s don’t prove one’s intelligence.
