I have a 3.5 GPA

uw gpa: 3.0 (85)
w gpa: 3.5 (90)

Took 5 AP’s and many honors classes. I’m not a bad student, I just had a lot of personal problems that had to do with my health that impacted my freshman year grades significantly.

In my essay I wrote about hardships with my life and everything I went through high school and what I learnt. (Please tell me if I should change it.)

SAT: 1300 out of 1600
ACT: 27 out of 36

Indian Female//First Generation to go to college in America//17 Years old when I’ll be entering college, unlike most ppl who are either 18 or 19. (Young for my grade, don’t know if that helps me in anyway.)

As far as extracurriculars go:
World Honors Society Member (potentially, I’m not sure if I’m sending this in because we haven’t found out yet, I assume I did not get in anyways.)
Vice President + President of key club: did many things while having these positions including setting up a donation drive for the people who were killed or injured in Haiti, and other causes.
President and chairperson of fundraisers of students against destructive decisions club.
Peer drug educator: (You have to apply to be accepted) - go to different schools and talk about the harm of drugs and alcohol.
Dance (not part of school) - performed at dance competitions - 3 years
JV Volleyball - 1 year
Varsity Volleyball - 1 year
Varsity Gymnastics - 3 years - went to invitationals!!!
Varsity Cheerleading - 1 year

These are the colleges that I’m thinking about: I’m not applying to all, I’m going to take out most of them once I have an idea of which ones will easily accept me.
If you have any suggestions that match my GPA let me know!

Northeastern - extreme reach but hey, why not try?
USC - extreme reach but hey, why not try?
UC Berkeley - extreme reach but hey, why not try?

Remove USC and UCB. Not worth the application fee since you have a very slim chance. In your other posts, you said you would be eliminating some schools. I still see a huge list.

Why don’t you look up the common dataset for each school. See what their average unweighted GPA, the 25th and 75th percentile for test scores and start eliminating any schools where your stats are at below the 25th percentile.

You GPA is what will keep you out of most of these schools. What is your home state?
