<p>I am a very strong writer so I do not believe that essays will be an issue and my grade trends are really good.</p>

<p>I'm curious about my odds at some of my "reach" schools: NYU, Carnegie Mellon, and Vanderbilt.</p>

<p>I'm also looking at schools such as UNC, UMich, USC, UCLA, Purdue, and NYU.</p>

<p>Any Opinions?</p>

<p>What’s with all the gym?</p>

<p>It’s really hard to tell if you don’t have recent scores. With a 32, I would say NYU is probable, maybe even in Carnegie Mellon. EC’s look okay. I like the upward trend in GPA’s. :)</p>

<p>My school actually has gym requirements :/. Plus I like to have some fun!</p>

<p>And by three gyms I mean one each tri, not three per tri.</p>
