<p>schools I'm looking at: </p>

<p>University of Pittsburgh
Virginia Tech
Penn State
University of Cincinnati DAAP</p>

<p>maybe?
Carnegie Mellon</p>

<p>Let me know what schools I have a chance with that are better ranked than the ones listed.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>should also mention that the GPA is out of 5 for weighted, 4 for unweighted.</p>

<p>I'm guessing you're in at Penn State. Your UW and SAT are dangerously close to their bottom of their middle 50, but. Eh.</p>

<p>At the bottom of the middle 50? Assuming I get my scores up, which will most likely happen as I didn't study before and am now, I'm way above that.</p>

<p>Any other opinions?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>bump.
Thanks!</p>
