<p>Try to bring up your GPA, CR in SAT. You overall score in SAT is comparable to ACT, but the distribution of section score is better with ACT. Anyway, your GPA is too low for top schools like Stanford, Columbia, Northwestern, etc. For those, the average GPA is ~3.9 with 75% at 4.0.</p>

<p>According to naviance, the average GPAs for students who are accepted into these schools from my school are 3.7-4.0.</p>
