<p>It appears that your course work is weighted heavily towards English and History classes. Did you take any foreign language after Spanish 8? This lopsided class selection will hurt, although the damage should be mitigated somewhat with your six AP classes.</p>
<p>I have no idea what a GPA w/Add-on means. For highly selective universities, your unweighted (UW) GPA will be looked at. They simply expect that you will take the most demanding classes and don’t care about how your high school chooses to weight them.</p>
<p>Your ACT is on the low end of the accepted student range for Notre Dame, Georgetown and Cornell, but it won’t eliminate you by itself.</p>
<p>Your ECs demonstrate a passion for instrumental music. Be sure that your application emphasizes this passion.</p>
<p>You don’t mention your class rank or how recent graduates from your school have performed in highly selective admissions. Academic awards (NMSF, AP Scholar, etc.) will also strengthen your application.</p>
<p>Assuming your essays and LORs reflect are well-crafted and reflect positively on you, you should be strongly competitive at Fordham. Unfortunately, I think you will be a borderline applicant at Notre Dame, Cornell and Georgetown.</p>
