<p>I have a 3.0 unweighted gpa, 4.3 weighted, pitiful, I know. I have a 2180 SAT, 800 on reading, 690 on the other two subjects. I received a National Merit Scholarship commendation, and I'm vice president of a nationally-ranked top-10 math club, and I'm involved in volunteer work and the like. My current list of schools to apply to is:</p>
<p>University of Florida (Attended Outstanding High School Scholars program here in July)
University of Miami
University of Central Florida
University of South Florida
Georgetown University
George Mason University
maybe Carnegie Mellon
My parents are trying to get me to apply to an Ivy league school, but I keep telling them that I can't get into one, due to my atrocious GPA, among other factors. </p>
<p>Could someone tell me what my chances would be to be accepted to these schools, and if there are any schools I should be considering, given my numbers? Please, and thank you.</p>
<p>This seems like a good list. I think you’re practically in at all of them except Georgetown and CMU. I’d probably add a mid range reach, between Mason and the Florida schools and Georgetown. Something Boston University or Wake Forest calibre probably would do</p>
<p>Thanks, I was thinking that Georgetown and CMU were too much to hope for from the get-go. Does anyone else have some advice?</p>
<p>sounds like a good list.</p>
<p>i like your chances at mostly all of those schools with your stats. just make sure you have EC’s and perhaps, tell them why your gpa is a but subpar.</p>
<p>The school that’s making me more nervous than the others is U of Florida.</p>
<p>I actually think this is a good list but you should add more match schools, like others have been saying. rochester? bc? nyu?</p>
<p>Just to be clear, I think you should keep Georgetown and CMU if you want to go there. I think it might be a good to add others like those bobdylan suggested</p>
<p>I’m going to keep those two as reach schools, I suppose. I didn’t think that NYU was within my reach, although they have sent me large amounts of correspondence.</p>
<p>also, what would one say are some good reaches for my numbers?</p>
