2100 sat (690 v 640 wr 770m) 730 ush 800 chinese
2.81 uc gpa
Decent EC</p>
<p>business admin or marketing</p>
<p>your SAT scores and GPA dont match...</p>
<p>if that 2.81 is weighted, then I think you have a good chance of rejection...gpa is weighted heavily.</p>
<p>you just seem very imbalanced to me</p>
<p>my weighted and unweighted gpa is the same.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>If you have a good "reason" why your GPA is low, then that can help a lot in your essay. </p>
<p>For example, i saw your "800 chinese" and am naturally led to believe that you immigrated here. That's a nice hook (if i am right). While it's not very unique, it is still nice. Anyone else agree?</p>
<p>Arrived 3 years ago to here. I don't really have a good reason for the GPA except I completely slacked off. I assume that will really hurt me right?</p>
<p>Well, if you don't have a good reason make one up.</p>
<p>Wow that was a joke right?</p>
<p>yes, that was</p>
<p>It's actually better to be honest than to make something up. I wrote on one of my application essays that I was a lazy bum when I entered high school but I changed my attitude and started to study hard</p>
