<p>I basically see you getting into all three of those last few, with another from the others too. I can definitely see you getting into Cornell and Emory if your essays and recs stand out. Really the only thing hurting you is your UW GPA. I think if you can get that up by the end of your first semester next year, you should be in a much better place for applications. Test wise, I could be wrong, but I think you’re fine for all of those schools.</p>

<p>I think you’ll get into more than one of the five match/high match schools. Among the reaches, who knows; I can’t promise you any. But I agree with JuniorBengal: getting your UW GPA up and showing a positive trend will be crucial. Good luck.</p>
