<p>You have a good ACT score. Gpa is on the low side for most those schools. GPA is on the low side for the UCs but berkeley may let u in because of your family's contributions. not sure how this would work. Aside from Berkeley and BU, i think those are all reaches (because of ur gpa). Don't worry, ive known people with lower who have gotten into Northwestern/JHU so ur not out of the running.</p>
<p>what about NYU ED
cause my gpa is only one pt below their average.
3.6
and mine is 3.5</p>
<p>but
my act is like 4 points higher tha ntheir average...and i applied
and since beggining of junior year ive gotten straight A's and
have taken/am taking 4 Ap's and 3 honors since then...</p>
<p>oh
and i forgot 1 of my EC's
ive been getting private tutoring for japanese and spanish 4 the past 1 year (not cause im dumb but cause i want to get smarter)</p>
<p>In college i plan on majoring in East asian studies (japanese) and international relations.</p>
<p>but also plan on taking at least 3 other foreign languages.</p>
