<p>You CC kids. I wish I was half as driven as you are when I was in high school.</p>
<p>Only 7% of first-year students at Brandeis and Pittsburgh had a GPA below 3.25. I think your chances are slim there. At USC it’s only 6% and I’d imagine your SAT scores are average there, so I’m not sure it’s worth it. Same at Colgate, only this time I know for sure your SAT scores are only average</p>
<p>At Muhlenberg, 37% of students have lower than a 3.25, so that could be a good match for you especially given your SAT scores are in their upper ranges. At American, it’s 16%, so that’s a little reachy, but your SAT scores are above average, so that could help.</p>
<p>Far as I can tell, you are top-heavy at the moment given your GPA. Your SAT scores can only do so much. Where are you in-state? You might consider applying to some of your state’s public universities. Also look at Auburn. If you could push your GPA up to a 3.25, you could qualify for a Charter Scholarship which is $5,000 a year.</p>
