<p>Your GPA is low but you are hispanic so that will help. You’ll probably get into BU especially with your great ACT score.</p>

<p>Good chances at Drexel, Stony Brook, Wentworth, WPI, and CUNY. Obviously Columbia is a huge reach but you already knew that.</p>

<p>Sorry to be this person, but bump! I really want to apply early decision, but I’m afraid I’ll get rejected. Also, some information:
GPA went up:
9: 2.72
10: 3.00
11: 3.48</p>

<p>I am also a Ventures Scholar (don’t know if that changes anything)
Also, I will be happy to chance back, I just need a link.</p>

<p>I think you have good chance, especially if you apply ED.
