9

<p>I’m thinking you can get into BU. Brown is definitely a reach. I’m not sure about the others.</p>

10

<p>I think you can get in to Texas A&M and UT.</p>

<p>Hows your gpa not good…you have a 4.01</p>

11

<p>Sorry, im not very familiar with a lot of these colleges but I think you GPA and class rank certainly won’t help you (they still probably wont look past it even with the justification) but that could easily be balanced with test scores, essays and recs. However, you do seem to be very active out of school so this should help you a lot, capitalize on the ECs in the essays. </p>

<p>UT Austin -match
Tulane -not sure
Texas A&M - not sure but im guessing match
Boston U - match
UCLA - not sure
USC - not sure
Emory - low reach
Carnegie Mellon - low reach
Northwestern - reach
Brown University - high reach</p>

<p>Also, did you take the SATs at all? Your ACT is pretty high but the SATs could help you out even more with balancing the gpa and rank.</p>
