<p>You really need to work on that unweighted GPA. Its hard to realize how many students there are with EC's similar to or better than yours but have much better academics. Also, study or even hire a tudor for the ACT, its important to get into the 30's. I would say high reach at UCLA, Northwestern, reach at USC, NYU, Chicago, high match at Brandeis and low match at Florida</p>
<p>You really need some safeties other that Florida. Think lesser known but challenging state schools. After all, you could (though probably won't) get rejected to all but Florida, and then you have no selection.</p>
<p>i have taken a lot of AP courses- that is why my Weighted is so much higher. Also, my extra curriculars are def. better than most- one of the best in my school and i go to one of the most competitive public schools in the country.
but yea i have safety schools i just didnt list them because i know i will get into them
thanks for the replies though- if you guys know anyother schools that i should look into- if you wouldnt mind recommending them</p>
<p>also- i dont think a 3.3-3.4 is a low UW if you are taking difficult courses</p>
<p>A 3.3/3.4 GPA is a low UW GPA for NYU, USC, UCLA, and Northwestern, regardless of the difficulty of your courses. Though your AP courseload is large, so will be those of your fellow applicants, and statistically at NYU, USC, UCLA, and Northwestern their UW GPAs will be higher. Like it or not that's how it is.</p>
