<p>SAT writing is on the low side for ILR
My son had 660 on SAT W and got a transfer offer, not freshman admission.
They said math not as critical for ILR (though your high scores never hurt of course).</p>

<p>Essay indicative of ILR specific interest is what could make a difference.</p>

3

<p>what is your UnWeighted GPA</p>

4

<p>Our school doesn’t give unweighted GPA but I think its around 3.8</p>

5

<p>High match/ low reach based on essay quality. Supplemental quality. Chance back? </p>

6

<p>Your SAT is kind of on the low side, and your GPA isn’t so impressive as to make up for it either. But your extracurricular activities at the fact that you are a first generation college student are great, so that definitely helps. </p>

<p>University of Virginia (Early Action): mid reach
University of Southern California: match
University of Los Angeles: match
The College of New Jersey: match
New York University: high match
Emory University: match
Carnegie Mellon University: mid reach</p>
