<p>your gpa is a bit low and a downward trend is really not good either</p>

<p>i mean everything else is fine, but your gpa is gonna either make or break your chances
pray they are lenient with it</p>

<p>i did far less extracurricular activities than you, but my gpa, SAT and essay were my strong points</p>

3

<p>It could go either way. Your GPA and that SAT score might hurt you.</p>

<p>But in the end, college admissions are unpredictable to say the least.</p>

4

<p>Your stats are not the best, but you have a chance of getting accepted. However, your SAT is above average for an applicant. You could be a spring admit. As forever09 said, the college admissions process is unpredictable, so with a good essay, hope that you can get accepted.</p>

<p>@forever09 i dont understand what you’re saying
what did you get on your SAT?
how is 2220 not a good score?</p>

<p>i think you are looking at the 1490 which is only math and reading</p>

6

<p>1490 is math and reading (800 math + 690 reading)
2220 is math, reading and writing (800 math + 690 reading + 730 writing)</p>

7

<p>Whoops sorry, misread that. Ignore that.
That’s an amazing SAT score.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
