<p>Hello. To begin, I have a very low GPA just over 3.0 UW. I go to a good private school but I struggle at times. </p>
<p>I took 3 APs and 6 Honors Classes and received 2000 on SAT and 29 ACT. </p>
<p>I have great ECs.

<p>I also have good recs. My only concern is my GPA. I'm showing an upward trend as I got 2.8 Sophomore Year, 3.0 Last year and 3.2 this year (possibly 3.3-3.4 this term).</p>
<p>I am applying to following schools:
NYU
USC
SMU
BU
Maryland
GW
Syracuse
UIUC</p>
<p>I did post a thread earlier but I just would like to hear more opinions and thoughts if that is fine.</p>
<p>I am not quite sure if this is good list. I did get into Penn State for Rolling Admissions so I applied to some reach schools like USC. Will my GPA kill my chances at these schools? I really do not want to go to Penn State unless I have to. Any input/comments are welcomed!</p>
