<p>hi, could someone please give me a realistic answer as to if i'll be able to get into colleges I want to go to? My friends are always like "oh don't worry about it you're fine" but I would like an unbiased and realistic answer.. I'm a junior in high school and i'm aiming for a college around the NYU or BU range and I have a 3.0 GPA.. I was going through a hard time and didn't care about college and got like 7 or so C's my sophomore year.. then this year I realized college is like my way to start over and be the kind of person I want to be. So.. i may have overloaded my schedule and i'm now taking 4 AP courses and finishing this semester with all B's. It was really stupid and i'm really worried that it's too late to fix things.</p>
<p>NYU - High High High Reach(Your GPA is WAYYY too low.)</p>
<p>Aim for 31+/2100+ on ACT/SAT, and aim for all A’s for your classes to bring that 3.0 GPA up.</p>
<p>thanks for being honest with me, i’m actually more towards bu than nyu since i knew it would be a reach… also my unweighted GPA is just barely a 4.0… i’m not sure if my ECs are enough but… i’ve played violin for 6 years, fenced for 6 years, played lacrosse for 2 years, been on journalism for 3 (senior year i’ll be an editor), been in advanced orchestra since freshman year, won a poetry competition called “Live Poets of New Jersey” over the summer, i’m on the cyber patriot team for my school, and not sure if this matters or not but I sing as a hobby…</p>
<p>i’m just like really worried about everything. also i took the SAT in january (my parents made me) and got a 2010… i didn’t study but now i am and i’m planning on retaking it in march</p>
<p>I thought your GPA was 3.0…</p>
<p>BU is also a high high high reach as your GPA is very low. </p>
<p>To increase your chances of getting in apply ED! It is much easier to get in ED but it still doesn’t make it easy or mean you will.</p>
<p>Your EC are average. Good to see you are taking on a leadership role next year in at least one.</p>
<p>unweighted: 3.0
weighted: 4.0</p>
<p>thank you, i’ll try ed. could you maybe list a few possible ec I could add before it’s too late? or is it already too late?..</p>
