@Im1999
I would say Reach as well
@lm1999 how is a 5.2 GPA possible??
@gudegude : Some schools find a way to make the ridiculousness plausible, and then people are shocked when college grades end up substantially lower on average (unless you really game college which is not recommended, except in moderation if you are aiming for professional school or something).
@lm1999 : It is a reach like the rest I think. As for athletics, not really, but it would have been nice to have some “deep” academic accomplishment or engagement to show a strength in maybe science because you claim an interest in biology. It would counter the scores if you showed subject specific strengths. If you get into a reach school and decide to attend, I recommend working VERY hard as many students (especially at a life sciences oriented school like Emory or WUSTL) will have that sort of thing as well as higher scores. Did you get any 4/5 or 5,6,7 in AP/IB STEM courses that matter for something like biology (so like chemistry, biology, physics, math).
Have you spoken to the basketball coaches at Emory and Oxford???
