<p>Hopefully over 200 hours (138 right now) by the time I apply</p>

<p>So yea first couple years of high school i f'd up. But in my essay i'm going to show how I matured and overcame bullying in order for me to turn into the student I was during my junior year of high school. Just tell me your honest opinions I will not be offended whatsover. These schools are my absoloute reach schools and i'm only applying to them for the sake of trying.</p>

<p>I also attend a very competitve high school in MD.</p>

<p>bumpity bump bump</p>

<p>Can i just get an answer?</p>

5

<p>NWU?</p>

<p>You’re under-qualified for BC but I couldn’t tell you about the others.</p>

6

<p>The competition of your high school really doesn’t give you leeway as far as class rank/GPA goes unless your school regularly sends about 30% or more of the class to Ivies and similar caliber schools each year.</p>

7

<p>ok thank you, NWU is northwestern</p>

8

<p>NU*.</p>

<p>And that’s out of the question, too. Cortana brings up a valid stance. Virginia/NU/BC are all major reaches with that GPA and lack of outstanding ECs. Maybe your ethnicity will help, but I can’t comment on that definitively.</p>
