Chance me with a 3.5 W GPA?

uw gpa: 3.0 (85)
w gpa: 3.5 (90)

Took 5 AP’s and many honors classes. I’m not a bad student, I just had a lot of personal problems that had to do with my health that impacted my freshman year grades significantly.

In my essay I wrote about hardships with my life and everything I went through high school and what I learnt. (Please tell me if I should change it.)

SAT: 1300 out of 1600
ACT: 27 out of 36

As far as extracurriculars go:
World Honors Society Member (potentially, I’m not sure if I’m sending this in because we haven’t found out yet, I assume I did not get in anyways.)
Vice President + President of key club: did many things while having these positions including setting up a donation drive for the people who were killed or injured in Haiti, and other causes.
Presidentand chairperson of fundraisers of students against destructive decisions club.
JV Volleyball - 1 year
Varsity Volleyball - 1 year
Varsity Gymnastics - 3 years
Varsity Cheerleading - 1 year

These are the colleges that I’m thinking about:

Northeastern - extreme reach but hey, why not try? :slight_smile:
USC - extreme reach but hey, why not try? :slight_smile:
UC Berkeley - extreme reach but hey, why not try? :slight_smile:

Your scores aren’t too bad. Could you please narrow your list a bit?

Are you going to apply to 37 schools? 37*75(application fee)=around 2500 for just fees…

Start by narrowing down the schools based on your budget. UC Berkeley will cost $55-60,000 a year with no financial aid as an OOS student. As stated in your post a Super Reach and with your GPA around a 2% acceptance rate.

I’m going to be cutting that list in half soon. But money isn’t a problem for me anyways since I’ve saved up for a long time. :slight_smile:

What are my D’s chances at SUNY Binghamton:
94.7 GPA out of 100
27 ACT
Many AP classes
Varsity Volleyball Captain - played for four years
Good community service
National Honor Society
