Do I even stand a chance? UF, UVa, UChicago, Northwestern, UNC Chapel HIll, Emory

I don’t think your GPA will be the end-all at those schools, but I could be wrong. I’m not too familiar with how important GPA is to those bigger schools, but both those schools have an acceptance rate of around 30%. Although your GPA is a little low for those schools, you have an amazing ACT score which I think could get you in (as long as your essays are good). However, in not too familiar with UVA and UNC, so I could be wrong.
