<p>I have a very similar profile. 3.6 UW and a 2350 SAT. I’m also just finished applying to alot of the same schools. To be perfectly honest, I have no idea what my chances are. One day I think that I’m a really great candidate, the next day I don’t think i’ll get in anywhere. I have no idea how colleges look at high-SAT, low GPA applicants. Best I can do is to tell you good luck, I hope we both get in somewhere great.</p>

<p>Good Luck :smiley: to the both of you</p>

<p>Catria and 2013girl: Thanks!
tysonisasaint: I know that feeling! Maybe we’ll see each other? If not, then best of luck!</p>
