<p>Low GPA is gonna kill you dude, even if you went to the most rigorous private school in the world. Unless you’re a recruited athlete, pretty big shot there bud. But apply anyway. You never know.
And you can’t guarantee a 2200 on the SAT.</p>
<p>^ Yep, agreed. GPA is pretty much the most important thing, and your GPA is just waay too low, even if you get it up to 3.05. </p>
<p>Some people who go to really difficult and top schools have lower GPA’s because of the hard courses but your GPA is just too low no matter what. Also, your AP test scores will more likely hurt you than help.</p>
<p>People who go to top schools that have lower GPAs usually have really good SAT/ACT scores, AP scores and SAT IIs that prove that their courses really were difficult, but because you don’t, your tough courses and low GPA will probably just show a lack of judgment in course selection.</p>
<p>also, should i apply early, or wait for regular rolling decisions? the information provided on the website says that the early applicants doesn’t get advantage but people around here seems to be saying the opposite</p>
<p>Your chances will probably improve, but sorry, I don’t think you had much of a chance in the first place, especially for an OOS. I’ve never heard of a 2.75 (I know you might get it up, but still) getting admitted, including people who have faced extenuating circumstances, URM, etc.</p>
<p>Applications for early and regular applicants are reviewed the same, but 3/4ths of students are admitted under early response, so it’ll be a lot more competitive if you apply later. I guess its better for you to apply early, but to me, it’s very very likely that you’ll get deferred to regular decision or rejected.</p>
