<p>While your GPA will likely make UChicago, Macalester, and Brown a bit skeptical, I think you could push your ACT and writing skills through essays. Applying early sounds like a good idea for you, being a slightly unusual applicant (low GPA, high ACT). Don’t explain your GPA as there really isn’t an excuse, and colleges will see your upward trend. </p>

<p>Just a few things to note EC-wise: being nominated for NYLC isn’t a big deal and shouldn’t be included if you didn’t attend; and one year on Student Senate isn’t important enough to include. Push the important ECs, like writing, volunteering, photography.</p>

<p>dont apply anywhere early…you’re senior grades can deff help you</p>

<p>that being said. your overall GPA isnt horrible. it all averages out to about a 3.7 which i dont thnk would be THAT big of a hamper even at the best of schools.</p>
