<li>Any other schools you recommend?</li>

<p>Wow that’s tricky. If you can bring up your SATs a little bit, you should probably be able to get into a bunch of your schools, a URM who has significantly improved throughout high school should be very appealing, especially if you can get good recs and heartfelt essays. Maybe look at Temple, other than that I can’t really think of anything. Good Luck!</p>
<p>oh yeah… since you improved exponentially, why not try to apply to a school with a higher caliber like brown or some other high caliber school… just get good recs and write a good, moving essay–like what motivated you to improve, what inspired you–and you can have a shot.</p>
<p>^^My older brother whos in college at rice told me this…</p>
<p>Well being URM, first generation, and an improving grade trend is going to be a big time selling point. I’m impressed, and I think colleges will view it favorably going from failing 2 classes to self studying 2 APs.</p>
<p>The only school I’m familiar with on the list is Drexel, and it seems like a fair match for you. Increase your SAT/ACT scores if you want to improve your application.</p>
