<p>It’s going to depend on the circumstances that explain your low GPA, and the way in which you explained them. Regardless, thats a great SAT, and I think youre definitely in at all your safeties and most of your matches. That low GPA would really make you look bad for your reaches (and some matches) like Rutgers and Drexel. However, having a really compelling story could possibly boost your chances of getting in at some of those schools.</p>
<p>That’s understandable, it’s obviously a personal choice so I won’t try to sway you. Is your GPA trend upward? Also, what is your ethnicity/income level?</p>
<p>If your upward trend is that strong, then that definitely makes your stats look much more desirable. Congratulations on your being able to improve that much!</p>
<p>I think that with that info you’re definitely gonna have a much better chance at your matches, and fordham and maybe some of your other reaches. It would be helpful to perhaps ask you guidance counselor to explain your mothers death, but in a way that doesn’t ask for sympathy but instead just explains your low freshman year gpa.</p>
