<p>hello!
if anyone can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. </p>
<p>my gpa is terrible; it's around 3.0 uw, 3.6 w. luckily all C's are from freshmen year, and i've got a good upward trend going / numerous honors classes. i'm at lexington high school (MA) which is VERY competitive, hopefully this will help?</p>
<p>my sat scores are back june 25th, expecting around 2150. will have at least a 700 in math, 680 CR, 680 WR. </p>
<p>i have great extra curriculars; in a band playing shows, and recording CDs, as well as recording and producing my own music (singer-songwriter) with radio airplay and album on iTunes music store, (will this help)?</p>
<p>so i'm looking for schools that weigh GPA less than other schools do, and schools that take SAT scores and EC /creativity / "well-roundedness" into perspective. </p>
<p>i know the GREAT schools are completely out of the question based on GPA, but what do you think my chances are at these schools?</p>
<p>(looking to major in business or engineering and minor in something music)</p>
<p>please please help me add to my list (:
thanks!</p>
