EA Chances

I know these threads get annoying and dont realistically tell much, going to do it anyway to try and clear some anxiety.
Applied EA to the following schools, and some others I am not worried about, but:
Tulane
SMU
U of Miami
USC
Santa Clara
Lehigh

White Male, family income 500k+, Colorado though currently studying abroad.
GPA: 3.7 UW. *very poor grades sophomore year, and my essay explains why

  • one AP, which I got a C in due to the same reasons I havent been offered AP this or last year. A few honors classes here and there.
    ACT- 34
    Common Essay- Hands down 10/10, this is my sell point where I speak on various problems I encountered in recent years, including being sent to therapeutic treatment for various reasons, and has landed me at a private school in another country that is run by US teaching staff. which I dont need to elaborate on here as I did in my essay, just give me the benefit of the doubt that this piece is killer.
    Supplemental Essays- 9/10 and I speak quite a bit on my experience visiting and how it swung me.
    Counselor Rec- 10/10 We’re close
    Teacher Rec- 10/10 We’re VERY close. She is my English teacher. I am just worried only having 1 may look weakW
    ECs-
    Student council treasurer, and president
    120+ community service hours
    Varsity golf 3 years
    Future Business Leaders and DECA for 2 years
    A paid job 30 hours a week for 2 years
    Cultural immersion program where I spend sundays with a spanish speaking family.
    Wilderness advanced first aid and CPR certified, which I utilize in outdoor adventure trips every few months.

Appreciate any responses, even more so if you know Tulane. I think my weak point is the rigor of my academic courses.
Thanks everyone, and good luck with wherever you are.

USC will be a little bit of a reach, but I think that the rest are really good options for you. A 3.7UW GPA is not bad, it is an A- average, and if you can explain how it would be even higher, I would not worry. Plus your ACT is really strong. Your EC’s are good too. I think you have a good chance at all of these schools with USC being a little bit of a reach.

Chance me back? Thanks!!!

Agree with what’s above, great shot at all and a slight USC but not very much reach. Good luck!! Chance me back on my most recent
