<p>I don’t understand the GPA inflation, so I won’t comment on that. Your SAT/ACT scores might need to be brought up slightly (above 2000/30 respectively) to be competitive, but you mentioned that. You’ve also demonstrated some leadership qualities, so that is a huge plus - emphasize that to its fullest extent. So, here goes:</p>

<p>NYU = High match
Vanderbilt = High match / Low reach (they like high test scores)
Penn State = Match
UW = Match
BU = High match
American = Match
UM = Match
UVA = High match
Case Western = High match</p>

<p>Also, chance me back pretty please!</p>

<p>^ There is not standard for weighed GPA. Some schools give 6.0 or even 7.0 max for college level courses. just use uwGPA for comparison.
You do have a lot of reach schools. Where is your home state?
UMich is a low reach for LSA (reach for CoE) as both your ACT and SAT are below 25%. Your GPA is a little bit hard to evaluate due to college courses. Otherwise, it appears low.</p>

<p>Just making a comment… College credits from ap tests will not be part of the decisions from schools</p>
