<p>The upward trend in GPA looks good, but you really need to rock that math SAT. Also a nice list of EC's, it shows good well roundedness.</p>

<p>Berkley's going to be tough for you pending an improved SAT score and a good application.</p>

<p>Same with Carnegie Mellon. All the others should be fairly safe.</p>
