<p>Forgot to add my internships… Worked two summer internships for local sports management businesses… </p>

<p>Don’t know how significant adding these were but hey it can’t hurt!</p>

<p>Is your school very competitive? Your SAT scores at within range for Wake.</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA is pretty damn easy to calculate. A=4.0 B=3.0 C=2.0 D=1.0, just add up your grades and take the average. Obviously electives and half credit classes count as half.</p>

<p>From my experience getting rejected from Wharton and other people, the general consensus is that the interview is not indicative of Accept/Reject. Most likely the interview can hurt you if you have no social skills, but it won’t help make up for deficiencies.</p>

<p>Indiana-In… but I don’t know if you will get preferred admit, good chance you will.
Wake Forest- Match
UVA-Reach unless you can get SAT scores up.</p>

<p>Can’t say for the rest. I don’t know what your UW GPA is and weighted GPA is arbitrary.</p>

<p>Thank you for your insight! Yes, my high school is extremely competitive. 3rd best in the state and 40th in the nation. Sends kids to ivies and top 20 schools annually.</p>

<p>No problem… Oh and can you chance me back?<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1442015-low-gpa-top-colleges-i-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1442015-low-gpa-top-colleges-i-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Clemson really only cares about your grades and test scores in the admissions process. Think you have a good shot, just keep working on bringing those grades up if you can and improve the SAT score if you can. If your school has a good reputation, that certainly can help you out</p>

<p>Thanks! Any other thoughts would be much appreciated!</p>
