Low GPA High SAT

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi everyone, I would like to know what kind of chances I have at the universities I applied to. I realize that I don't have an excellent record, but I have a huge upward trend in GPA (below 2.0 in 10th to a 3.5 in 11th). I have tried to stress this in my application essays. I am applying to Pre-med. Anyway, here are my stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 2.8 unweighted
SAT: Math-760 Verbal-720 Writing-650 (1480 old 2130 new)</p>

<p>1 AP in both 10th and 11th grade (US Hist. and Psych)
2 AP's in 12th (Calc AB and Physics B)
Numerous AP classes</p>

<p>100+ hours volunteering at a hospital
Guitar teacher
President of a club and secretary of another</p>

<p>The colleges I applied to are </p>

<p>Cal Poly SLO
Cal State Northridge
Every UC school
U of Mich
Penn State
USC
NYU
Boston U
Northwestern
Toronto
Mcgill
British Columbia</p>

<p>Your comments are appreciated greatly. Thank you.</p>

<p>Your SATs are good, but that low GPA just undoes you, even with the strongly rising trend. U Mich, USC, NYU, BU, Northwestern all have lots of applicants with SATs as strong as yours or stronger and much better grades. Realistically, it is highly unlikely you'll be accepted at any of those schools. The Canadian schools and the other California schools I know nothing about.</p>

<p>Yeah agree, even a 3.5 isn't that great and when thats your pinnacle, I just don't see it happening.</p>

<p>Assuming you are a California resident,
UCB/UCLA: Super Reach
UCSD: Reach
UCI/UCSB/UCD: Match
UCSC/UCR/UCM: Safe Match</p>

<p>Cross off UCSD, UCLA, USC, UCB, NYU. You won't make them.</p>
