<p>You have great ECs will definitely work in your favor at SFS. However, since GU only looks at Verbal+ Math, I would really work on getting your Math grader a bit higher. However your V and W look great! As long as you make sure to have some solid SAT IIs, I think you will be in great shape. Do you take another language though? That's something that is "preferred" in applicants to SFS. </p>

<p>Your GPA is similar to mine, although rank is a bit lower. By next year, maybe you will move up a bit? I doubt it'll be significant, but I would say at least get in top 5%. =] Good luck! I think you should be fine!</p>
