Honest Truth: GPA is low. SATs are good. EC’s are average(for top caliber students). You have a chance to get accepted into each school listed but, may also get rejected from some.

Even though your GPA is a little low, your SAT and AP scores definitely make up for that!! Don’t worry too much about your applications I would say. You’re probably in that “gray area” where you’re a high contender for all of those schools but things could possibly go wrong at a few of them. Have faith though, I honestly think you’re a top contender for most of the schools you listed!

  • UNC-Chapel Hill: Match
  • Duke: Reach
  • Emory: Match
  • Cornell: Low Match
  • Carnegie Mellon: Low Match
  • MIT: Reach
  • UCLA: Match
  • UC Berkeley: Low Match (They care a lot about leadership)
