<p>Definitely take subject tests. Not taking them might hurt your chances
Brown: reach
Penn: reach
Columbia: reach
Haverford: match
Georgetown: high match
Bowdoin: match
Tufts: match
McGill: match
Northeastern: low match
Btw, I disagree with the person above. None of those schools are high reaches at all. You might even get into an ivy or two</p>

<p>Great standardized test scores! GPA is on the lower side (I can relate) but overall, a good resume. I’d put Brown, Penn, Columbia, and Georgetown as reaches (just because of the chaotic nature of the admission process at those schools) and the rest as matches. Good luck though! I hope you get in!</p>

<p>Reach for Columbia, low reach for Penn and I think you would get in everywhere else haha.</p>

<p>scderek4: It’s just that the poster’s UW GPA is a bit low for the Ivies (as most applicants have UW GPA’s of at least 3.9). Even though it’s a high reach, it’s a high reach for everybody. Just my opinion anyway</p>

<p>Bottom line, you’ll do great anywhere :D</p>

<p>To clarify, my unweighted GPA for Sophomore year to present is actually 4.0 … Hopefully these schools won’t care too much about freshman year. I’ll chance all of you once I get back from hiking!</p>
