<p>Your gpa is really going to hurt you. However, your tests scores are pretty good, so they might make up for that. Why is your gpa so low? If you really want to go to an ivy, I think your best bet would be applying ED. Pick which school you really want to go to and hope for the best. Good luck!</p>

<p>You already know your GPA will hurt you. Upward trends are good, but they are not comparable to straight A’s for 4 years. Your test scores are fine. Your EC’s are nothing out of the box.</p>

<p>Overall, Ivies will be a high reach for you.</p>
