Low GPA/High ACT?

<p>How bad would a GPA of 3.63 (unweighted) look to a college if I have a 30-32 ACT? Class rank is only top 20%. I'd be at the top 5-10% weighted. I was thinking about having my counselor write that in, but I'm not sure how much it'll help?</p>

<p>Have your counselor do that, so the schools know. You'll be fine at most colleges.</p>

<p>What about schools such as Carnegie Mellon or Brown? Or even Yale (just for the heck of it)?</p>

<p>CMU will be a match, while Brown and Yale would still be reaches.</p>
