Upenn is a reach with your scores. Consider retaking it? Also I believe Georgetown requires 3 SAT Subject tests. You have to take them if you’re applying there.

Georgetown, UPenn, BC, and UChicago are all reaches due to uw gpa and test scores. NYU, BU and Northeastern are more within range but you will still need to get your gpa way up to have a better chance. GWU is a match. Which Loyola are you talking about? If it’s new orleans, it is also a match or even a safety, depending on your gpa at the time of application. Your ECs are great, just work on getting your gpa up and maybe retake the ACT.

Thanks for the reply and that info. :slight_smile: I didn’t know they were required… I thought just recommended. @BreBre235

Thank you for the reply! I’m talking about Loyola Chicago. @minzi98

Consider adding more safety schools to your list because right now I only foresee you getting into OSU and Loyola. There are other Loyola schools in Maryland, and New Orleans. Maybe they’d be a fit?
