<p>Your ECs are kind of weak, and you’re lacking leadership positions. But, you have some REALLY good stats - your SAT score is great for the colleges you’re looking at, and so are your SAT IIs. But, you’re UW GPA is really low… :frowning: I think you have a good chance at U of Richmond…but I don’t know about the rest (i don’t know much about the other schools you mentioned). Wake Forest doesn’t look at SAT scores, soo…that would be a minus for you, since you have a good score. Would you need FA though?</p>

<p>no i wouldn’t need financial aid, and the gpa listed is academic only I’m sure it would increase with arts classes and electives included. i don’t really know how to calculate it anyway</p>

<p>That would be a plus then. But, I don’t really know how to help you with your GPA. It really just varies from school to school. Good luck tough! :slight_smile: You could definitely get into Lehigh, though. Boston College and William Mary might also be matches (but, like I said, I don’t know much about them). Colgate would be a slight reach, and so would Wake Forest. I think the toughest school on your list would be University of Michigan, but, if you can figure out how your GPA is calculated, then there’s a good chance you could stand a chance at Michigan :).</p>
