<p>I haven't seen my recommendations except the one from internship mentor which was amazing. I haven't seen my counselor rec either. </p>

<p>I know my GPA is lacking but hope that my SAT2/ACT will redeem me!!
Also I don't have a lot of ECs but I have shown significant commitment to the ones I have participated in. </p>

<p>My essays are good but clearly I'm a math and science person-writing is not my thing.<br>

UVA EA: good chances</p>

<p>Wash U: solid chances if not apply for FA
JHU: reach (gpa)
Vandy: slight reach (gpa)
CMU: solid chances
Michigan: good chances</p>

<p>Tufts. GWU, Bucknell: don’t know much about them</p>

<p>Whats your rank? A 3.6 GPA in and of itself isn’t that bad. At a grade deflated school, that may be great (top 5%).</p>

12

<p>My school doesn’t rank. Probably top 20% bit I don’t really know.</p>

<p>Duke is a reach</p>
