High SAT's, low GPA?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello there, I'd be glad if you could offer your opinion on my chances.</p>

<p>SAT: 2320
ACT: 34
AP: three 5's
SAT II: 800 Bio, 750 Math II, 750 US</p>

<p>but...
UW GPA: 3.6
W GPA: 4.1</p>

<p>Average EC's
Great essays and rec letters (at least I think, haha)</p>

<p>Edit:
East coast Chinese male
Hook: Does being born in China count?</p>

<p>I am applying to top schools including the business schools of Georgetown and UPenn. Do I have a chance? (And why not, please chance me for the rest of ivy league as well.)</p>

<p>The three 5's on AP exams and scores on SAT II's were taken on subjects that I received a "B" in. Yes, I attend a challenging public school. (My W GPA still places me near the top tenth.)</p>

<p>I suffered from a concussion junior year, and it made school difficult, which could have caused me to obtain 4 B's that year. (Should I mention that in an application?)</p>

<p>Very good Sat and nice gpa. Nonetheless, your ec´s as you said are average. I would say low reach-georgetown and reach- Upenn</p>

<p>What school at Georgetown are you applying to? SFS and the College are more difficult to get into than the others. Regardless, those credentials look pretty competitive for GU and 3.6/4.1 is not bad at all (especially when you are getting 5’s in AP classes that you received B’s in).</p>

<p>As for Penn, probably much more dififuclt, given that they have already accepted almost half their class ED (47%). Still, with those SATs, definitely worth a shot.</p>

<p>Business school, muckdog.</p>

<p>And I’ll clarify the first post more. Thank you very much!</p>

<p>SAT’s definitely help…but I feel kids overestimate their importance. Rigor of curriculum is the most important thing to adcoms. With that said, if you explain your circumstances, you have a shot at Georgetown. Wharton is a lot tougher. Your ethnicity does hurt you, and I doubt being born in China counts as a hook. I say it’s worth a shot though, there’s no harm in trying. </p>
