<p>I'm only a junior, and I'm in Honors 1 courses. (My school has 5 levels instead of 4). Should I move down a level to bring my UW GPA up? What should I do to increase my chances? </p>
<p>Also, does anyone know of any colleges that I should consider? Safeties or matches?</p>
<p>To be honest,
Your GPA is a bit low and SAT Math is below their 25th percentile. To stand a good chance, you have to bring up your SAT Math to at least 600 if not 650+. Try to re-take SAT and shoot for 2000+.
Safeties for your stats are: UMass Colleges (Amherst, Boston, etc…)
Matches: Syracuse, UConn, American Universty, University of Delaware, Rutgers
High Matches: Penn State, Boston University, Fordham, Univ. of Pittsburgh, Northeastern</p>
<p>If you can bring up your SAT to 2000+, all the above should be a shoe in.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>ognyusa, I’ve heard UMASS Dartmouth had a highly competitive nursing program. Do you think I stand a chance there?</p>
<p>Yes, UMASS Dartmouth should be a saftety for you!</p>
<p>Hey! i thin you stand a chance. i got into northeastern the other day and these were my stats:</p>
<p>-international student
-doing the IB diploma programme (a bit harder than AP)
-3.4 GPA UW
-SAT: CR 570, math 620, writing 670</p>
<p>LOADS of ECs, good essays and amazing recs. i consider myself lucky, i can’t wait to visit. you stand a chance for sure! bring up your SAT score a bit and definitely get involved in more ECs, especially some service: volunteering, helping others etc…</p>
<p>! 
hope i helped.</p>
<p>^completely different story. Internationals don’t need a high SAT, I don’t even think they look at the SAT of international applicants.</p>
<p>Your GPA is on the low side but you can balance it out with a higher SAT. Focus on brining up your math.</p>
<p>yeah agreed. work on your math and a bit higher gpa and you shold be good. again, nursing is harder to get into.</p>
<p>and yeah, international students have it easier for US schools. especially if you do the IB.</p>
