<p>Your stats are very average. The universities you want to get into are not super hard to get in, but a surefire way is to do something extra. Can you try get more community service hours? Also, see if you can do anything business related. Internship or job in that field is best.
Basically, your grades are fine, just work on SAT. And make yourself stand out. Another way to do this is to have a stellar essay. Essays have turned peoples fates around before, and it can happen to you.
Good luck!
:)</p>
