<p>You have the numbers (though the SAT could be higher); now you need to be able to show a passion/focus, as evidenced by your ECs/awards/honors/essays.</p>
<p>OK thanks! I'm retaking the SAT & ACT (and I realize my ACT is incorrect- I have a 35. If that Helps. Which I think it will.) </p>
<p>This thread can be deleted or whatever. I don't know how it works. Giving the OK.</p>
<p>a 35?? Uh yeah...</p>
<p>Chicago - match
NYU - safety/low match
Yale - low reach
Harvard - low reach
UVM - safety
Elmira - dunno
BU - safety</p>
<p>haha yea a 35 might be a little different than a 32 lol, regardless your W. GPA is kinda low for the big shot ivies.</p>

<p>really? My school only allows a highest weighted GPA of 4.1
Would 3.9 still be low?</p>
<p>Don't pay attention to what your school does; weight it as the colleges will: </p>
<p>A=5, B=4, C=2, D/F=0; weight honors, AP, pre-AP, and IB courses</p>
<p>Use your ACT score rather than your SAT score when you submit your applications... 35 on the ACT is fantastic while 2100 on the SAT (exactly what I scored and used in admissions) is excellent but on the low side for Ivy League schools. Ratings: high reach, reach, semi-reach, good fit, likely, safety.</p>
<p>University of Chicago... GOOD FIT.
New York University... LIKELY.
Yale University... REACH.
Harvard College... REACH
University of Vermont... SAFETY.
Elmira College... SAFETY.
Boston University... LIKELY.</p>
<p>I had lower than a 3.9 (~3.86 after mid-years), and I got into Yale. 3.9 is a very good GPA, especially if you come from a more competitive school. I came from a horrible public though, so technically, the school I applied to should see your GPA in better light. My course load was the most rigorous offered at my school, even though it was still a piece of cake. If you have a 3.9 from a competitive school and have taken the most rigorous classes, than your GPA of 3.9 should not harm you at all.</p>
