<p>In my opinion you don’t sound unique enough, you sound like a broken record, you know how many times these admissions people have to read constant 4.0 gpa, 20+ ECs and stuff… just think about how they feel… appeal to emotion</p>
<p>Same with AP classes, it’s a bunch of crap to believe that every student out here is ‘above average’ it’s just a money maker. Go to school to learn, not to appeal to moneybags.</p>
<p>^Okay…???</p>
<p>X-ray, op is “unique enough” for these schools. I don’t know if these schools ever see a 4.0 that often. Not every student is applying to an ivy… Don’t tell the op what to do, you’re not him. Also, that second paragraph was kind of indiscernable.</p>

<p>I’m not completely familiar with all of your schools, but for those I do know:</p>
<p>UConn - low match
Fordham - low match
NYU - reach
URichmond - match
Northeastern - high match/low reach
Villanova - match</p>
<p>The good thing about your lower GPA freshman year is that it shows an upward trend at least, and was not so drastically low to cause a lot of concern.</p>
<p>I would also recommend adding a few more reach schools if you would like, but you have a great list here and should be admitted to at least several! Good luck :)</p>
