<p>Stats from the Providence Class of 2013:
(middle 50% range for AP scores)
CR: 530-630
Math: 540-640
Writing: 550-650
Those stats put the high end of PC’s applicants as those with 1920+ on the SATs, so you are definitely in the running there. I’m not sure about your particular GPA scale, but it seems like that would put you in the 3.5 range on a 4.0 scale, and Providence accepts 80.4% of applicants who submit a GPA between 3.5 and 3.74, so that looks pretty good for you too. Your ECs seem very well-rounded, and I’d also infer that if Northeastern and Drexel are offering you scholarships, then you should be absolutely fine for Providence, although I don’t have a crystal ball and college admissions in undeniably unpredictable. Your stats and PC’s seem very compatible, though, so I really wouldn’t worry for now! Good luck wherever you end up!</p>
