<p>-I have a problem with my standardized test scores the problem being they are not as high as most of my dream schools average scores. I have taken the ACT 3 times and gotten composite score of 28, 28, and 27. I recently took the SAT and received 2040 as my total with 640 in Math, 710 in English, and 690 in Writing.
But I have worked hard in school and I have a high GPA with many extracurriculars.
-My weighted GPA is a 4.41 and unweighted 3.75. (both cumulative)
-I am an International Baccalaureate diploma candidate.
-AP Scores:
Human Geography- 5
European History- 4
Psychology- 5
Biology- 3
-Member of National Honor Society, National French Society, and National History Society.
-Mock Trial (District Champions and State top 5)
-Model UN
My question is what are my chances at any of the listed schools despite my average test scores. Thank you!</p>

<p>(Schools: Emory University, University of Miami, UCLA, UNC, Stanford)</p>

<p>UCLA and Stanford are incredibly unlikely to take you on with what you’ve posted here. All your numbers (ACT, GPA, AP scores) are too low. Unless you have a major hook you’re not telling us (or are a recruited athlete), you’re chances at UCLA and Stanford are very low.</p>

<p>Emory, Miami, and UNC are possible - focus on those and write good essays!</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Miami is the most reasonable school here. Stanford is way out of reach. UNC is out of reach if OOS, Emory is a reach, but isn’t impossible. And if you don’t live in California, UCLA will be hard to get into.</p>
