High GPA LOW ACT? Vassar?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm a first-generation Hispanic male.</p>

<p>I have weak test scores (25 on ACT). I'm retaking to hopefully achieve a 28-30 based off my recent practice tests. I have a 3.73 unweighted GPA and a 4.97 weighted GPA.
I'm in the top 7% of my class. I've taken 5 AP classes and I'm taking 5 this year (as a senior). I'm taking the most advanced math, English, and science courses offered at my school. I also have great EC's but listing them would be too much. They're mostly involving LGBTQ programs and tutoring students. I also had a job through my local police department tutoring and mentoring peers at my high school</p>

<p>So far, my letters of rec's are great and superb essays. </p>

<p>My dream school is Vassar or uChicago (both way out of league). I've applied ED to Vassar, still being hopeful. I would still like to consider applying to some other schools for RD aside from the ones I already have on my list. Any other schools I should look into with great undegrad pre-med advising/programs?</p>

<p>Your ACT is the only thing keeping you from getting accepted ED at Vassar (since your profile is strong and the ED acceptance rate is a whopping 43%). But hey, 27% of admitted applicants have an ACT score of 24-29, so there’s hope!</p>

<p>With UChicago, if you bump up your ACT score and write AMAZING essays, you could have a shot. </p>

<p>Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Thanks! Hopefully I’ll be part of that 27%.</p>
