<p>Oxford yeah, Emory College is a possibility if you raise your ACT score a bit. Also, don’t send in more letters of recommendation than requested.
Oh, and try to visit Emory before you apply because they apparently like people that demonstrate interest</p>

<p>You might want to work on that UW GPA and the ACT score.</p>

<p>thanks guys. Any other ideas?</p>

<p>Try to see if you can expand on your ECs. For example, become an officer of your school’s student council/government.</p>

<p>your weakness is academics…retake the act and try to get better grades as best as you can. That average gpa this year for class of 2013 is 3.84 or something so that gives you an idea</p>

<p>Well, with what you have right now you would most likely be rejected, to be honest. Just work on those numbers :)</p>
