I am out of state and I have a 3.52 GPA. This is my reach school but I really want to go here. I just submitted my application today. I heard that if you submit EA you have a pretty good chance of getting in. I know my GPA isn’t up to par but I have some good stuff running for me.
ACT: 25, Math: 24 Reading: 30
-My letter of recommendation from teacher is going to be very good because she liked me a lot
-I have a progression in my grades (math grade is what brought my GPA down)
-As my years through high school went on I have taken increasingly harder classes
-Good courses I have taken…
-American Studies II Honors
-Contemporary America Honors
-English 3 Honors
-English 4 Honors
-AP European History
-AP Italian 5
-I also have visited campus multiple times, and have done an overnight stay program where my information has been taken down every time
-4 year varsity letters for swim
-This year I am a captain for the varsity swim team

I just want to know I have a chance. My guidance counselor said it is definitely a reach but I have a chance because of my recommendation and course selection.
