<p>whats your unweighted GPA</p>

3

<p>unweighted GPA is a 4.0</p>

4

<p>You're in.</p>

5

<p>In at NYU, BU & Fordham.</p>

<p>you have a very high chance based on your academic scores. do a good essay and personal statements, you're fine. you can include your newspaper (9,10), NJHS (9), track (9) but you abandon them long time ago. colleges like to see you active in a club or two for a long time to show your interest, especially one with leadership roles.</p>

<p>Columbia and Yale may be a reach because there are many 4.0 applicants with lots of stuff possibly even more than you but NYU and USC should be a match while Boston U (maybe near safety?) and Fordham is a safety.</p>
