Chances... Details inside

<p>My SAT's are 1500 (720 & 780)
My GPA is 3.7 (I have a reason) (hardest courses)</p>

<p>My ranking is not known as my school does not rank. very small school.
Also, if anyone could suggest any other schools that would be awesome.</p>

<p>My reason for a low GPA and so many business ventures is becuase my mother was pregnant during my freshman yr. She had a miscarraige and then got pregnant again. She is very high risk and was bedridden. This is my essay. Ive been told by many people its very good and "gripping."</p>

<p>I wanted to apply to Some IVYs, but my GPA is really low for them. What do any of you think?</p>

<p>Current Classes are AP Physics, AP Calc, AP Stats, Honors English, Honors History</p>

<p>Will take SAT II in Bio, Math IC, Lit (above 680 in all)</p>

<p>Here is my exact resume i will be sending to the schools and my essay will be very good and explain low GPA and other events. What are my chances at:</p>

<p>Williams is just a competitive, if not more so than most of the ivies (except HYP). I have a friend at my school (Middlebury) who was accepted to Harvard and Yale, but flat out rejected at Williams. That being said, I still think you have a nice chance and should apply. I wouldn't stress about your GPA, you have a legitimate reason, along with some great test scores and interesting EC's.</p>
