<p>Your test scores are terrific, but not your GPA. It's hard to say how colleges will view this disparity. I assume you will get into U. of Maine, and your most likely other choice is Smith. If you have an upward trend or a good story to explain your relatively low grades, that will help.</p>

3

<p>hmm...do you think i'd have a good chance at any other schools?</p>

4

<p>Pomona is doubtful. What are you doing for the current year? You've already graduated?</p>

5

<p>I'm taking a year off, to work for my father's business.</p>

6

<p>Your scores are very good, but that low GPA is really going to hurt your chances at most of those schools. I would try to recommend some colleges for you, but I'm not sure how adcoms would view such a big discrepancy between GPA and SATs.</p>
