<p>im pretty satisfied with my SAT scores, but my GPA (3.3 / 3.9) and my lack of leadership positions is a concern. on the other hand, i have taken a pretty rigorous schedule with alot of APs, and i havent wasted any credits with any cake classes (like PE or sex ed), and my GPA has shown a steady upward trend.</p>

<p>i havent done much research yet, but right now, im interested in:</p>

<p>upenn
john hopkins
emory
university of florida
NYU
university of miami
georgia tech
wake forest</p>

<p>the first two (and possibly the third) are probably major reaches, but what are my chances of getting into the other schools? also, what other colleges should i be looking at that i have a good chance of getting into? thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I would say ur dead-on about what you’ve already said. Your gpa is a bit low for John Hopkins, and especially for Upenn, and your lack of leadership positions might be troublesome, but I would say you’re in for most of your colleges.</p>

<p>Breakdown (from my humble view)</p>

<p>Upenn - reach
John Hopkins - lowish (?) reach
University of Miami - In
University of Florida - In
NYU - Match
emory, wake forest, georgia tech - Don’t know too much about these colleges</p>

<p>Chance me back?
