<p>I am a junior. My unweighted gpa is a 3.5. Ive taken the SAT and scored but a 2270, but Im sure I can do better. I've taken four subject tests Math I,II, Bio E, and spanish and I've scored above a 750 in all 4. i volunteer at the animal shelter and at the greater boston food bank. Also, ive started the oxfam and DECA clubs at my highschool. i am also the chief Marketing officer of a small gaming studio. NaBrO Studios. Im on debate team and play both varsity tennis and xc. Also, I have my second degree black belt in 2 types of martial arts. Lastly(i know im going on but i want this to be accurate), Im part of an organization called youth lead and i have faciliated many workshops pertaining to effective dialogue.
Here is my list(and it appears daunting, but id appreciate some feedback as well as additons):
UC Berkely
carnegie mellon
cornell
johns hopkins
mcgill
northwestern
tufts
vanderbuilt
wesleyan
washington university in St Louis
Oxford</p>
<p>You’re applying to Oxford in England? Are you absolutely sure what you want to study and do you have at least three relevant AP tests with scores of 5?</p>
<p>You’d get better responses if you told your intended major or field and financial situation.</p>
<p>finances are unimportant because my parents are willing to pay, major having a hard time between pre med and computer sciences, and for the ap scores, it says either ap scores or 3 subject tests higher than 700 and i have 4 all higher than 750</p>
<p>It’s nearly unheard of to switch area of study there so it would be wise to go with a made-up mind and it would be a high reach as your transcript stands. If you are in Massachusetts as your post indicates, UMass-Amherst would be a good backup for you.</p>
<p>i think you can get into vanderbilt easily</p>
<p>Bu, northeastern, wheaton, PC</p>
<p>any other matches and how would you guys rank my list like high reach, low match, match, low reach etc…</p>
<p>bump guys please</p>
<p>
Must be a different Vandy than I know of (which has a 14% selection rate and 60% have a GPA north of 3.75).</p>
<p>OP, nice list of reaches. If your parents are willing to pay anything then U Washington or U Wisconsin might be good safeties. They have an excellent Comp Sci programs and can prepare you for med school. BTW, I don’t think improving on a 2270 will really improve your chances anywhere.</p>
<p>McGill is almost a safety. (One person with your approximate stats from our school was waitlisted, but many many more were admitted, and nobody was rejected). </p>
<p>As Erin’s Dad pointed out, Wisconsin could be a good safety. Not so much because it’s a sure thing with the 3.5, but because it’s a very likely admit and you can apply through an easy application in September and get a decision by October or early November. Once you get admitted, which I think you will, you will have a great safety.</p>
<p>In my school the gpa is out of 6 and Vanderbilt is around a 5.1, and I have approx a 5.2-.3</p>
<p>^ Is that data from Naviance? If so that would be more accurate than general info from the CDS.</p>
