<p>I think AU is going to be a high match for you, probably because of that GPA. However, don’t give up hope. Would you be willing to study really hard and retake the SAT? A strong showing on the SAT (or the ACT) might help sure up your GPA.</p>

<p>Only your GPA seems weak… and mayb SAT as well, perhaps you should ve done a sport or two but shape… Give it a shot, who knows…</p>

<p>thanks a lot really appreciate it, I’ll probably retake and take a SAT II thanks everyone</p>

<p>The only thing I see as a problem is your GPA. If you still have senior year to pull it up…go for it. Take the Honors classes and get great grades. You might want to be careful about taking AP classes if they will pull your GPA down. My daughter had a great GPA, but her SAT’s were not as high as yours. She had lots of EC’s and is an athlete.</p>

<p>thanks good sir, yea GPA is a killer, I can improve my SAT, I winged it the first time. Thanks everyone. any more advice is appreciated</p>

<p>As others have said, the GPA and SATs need to be improved. Also, since you combined honors and APs into the same category I’m not sure which classes were which. I would definitely make sure you are taking at least a few APs next year and make sure that you are taking leadership positions in those extracurriculars that you already do.</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, RecebtAUAlum, what are you doing now??? :D</p>
