<p>You’re GPA and SAT scores will hold you from all of those schools. I commend your ACT scores and those could help at Mich St., but you might want to try community college for two years then transfer.</p>

<p>Good job on trolling if that’s what you’re doing.</p>

3

<p>That’s a good idea, but I really want IV schools!!!
I promise I’m not a ■■■■■ guys :slight_smile: :)</p>

4

<p>You won’t get Ivy League schools.</p>

5

<p>DallasScholar Why? How can I improve? And what about the non-IV?</p>

6

<p>You’ve got to be kidding! Your GPA is laughable, sorry to say. You need to be realistic.</p>

7

<p>You say you are fluent in Hebrew, yet you got a 290 on the Subject Test?</p>

8

<p>French tutor with a subject test score of 330? Fluent in Hebrew with a score of 290? ■■■■■.</p>

9

<p>And to be in the top 20% of your grade you need to be 12/61 or less. You rank under better than 49 out of 61 students with a 1.89?</p>

10

<p>PsychoDad10 No I actually am fluent, I’m just really bad at testing :frowning: :frowning: Plus I took those in grade 9 when I wasn’t fluent yet</p>

<p>Achilles09 It was an estimate, maybe too high…? Top 30% maybe?</p>

11

<p>Is your school extremely hard? Do you know the valedictorian’s GPA?</p>

12

<p>Achilles09 We don’t have a valedictorian because we don’t have class rank officially at all…:o :slight_smile: sorry :o</p>

13

<p>Bumpssss!:D</p>

14

<p>Oh then it’s hard to say. But I would assume that if your GPA is a 1.89 UW, it’s going to be extremely difficult to get accepted to a top tier university, even if you’re able to get recruited. Do you by any chance know about how many students from your school got accepted to a top tier this year?</p>

15

<p>Achilles09 I don’t really know honestly… We only have one guidance counselor for all 61 of us and he doesn’t tell us anything useful :frowning: But I’ll ask him when school starts again!</p>

16

<p>Ok be sure to do that. If that’s a GPA that would be compared to other applicants, then it would be extremely low. You would be competing against a plethora of 4.0s. In fact there are so many of these perfect GPA and SAT score students that Ivy Leagues actually reject many.</p>

17

<p>Does no one understand this is a ■■■■■? I mean honestly, I would not have thought that the CC community was so naive.</p>

<p>If this was normal forum with people who had an ounce of sarcasm detection I would rate this ■■■■■ 1/10 would not read again. But considering these responses I’ll give you a 2.5/10.</p>

18

<p>You’re in pretty much anywhere. Just chill out and ride the acceptance train from here on out</p>

19

<p>Do not feed the ■■■■■!</p>

<p>Trolllllllllllllllllll</p>
