AP: I go to a small private school in NYC where they aren’t really offered.

your ECs are interesting and well rounded b ut your GPA is very low for them and it’s hard to predict with only an estimated and not real ACT or SAT. they like an upward trend in GPA but even with that it’s hard to tell. the fact you don’t need FA is a plus. i’m sure someone more experienced than me will look at your post as well but your gpa is very out of range.

I get my decision in a few hours and had a 33 act superscore and 3.25 gpa (3.36 after first sem senior year). Strong upward trend, freshman year was 2.5 and it’s tired dramatically since. I had a nice ec in a business I ran raising 6k and I’ll tell you how it ended up.
