<p>It’s a reach, like it is for everyone. You have a good class rank and great ECs. However, you should definitely work to raise that GPA. Good luck.</p>

<p>Hey, I’m applying too so don’t worry we’re in the same boat! (Only I’ll be applying RD).</p>

<p>I think you have some good ECs to work with in terms of sculpting an interesting essay. You definitely have a lot of stories/foreign experience that you can bring out in your application.</p>

<p>I realize now that you already submitted your application so “chancing” isn’t necessary anymore, but should you feel compelled to send in an extra essay/letter of rec, taking an international perspective might bring in some dimension to your application.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>How can you apply ED if the deadline has passed two weeks ago?</p>

<p>Might also look at Bowdoin and Holy Cross very good LAC’s but easier to get into. Holy Cross has beautiful campus only 1 hour from Boston.</p>
