<p>I may have forgotten a couple things but this is pretty much me. The GPA can improve to 3.4 by mid year if I work hard and I damn well plan on doing so. SAT scores will go up for sure and will take a spin at ACT once too.</p>
<p>Colleges:
UCF
FSU
USF
UF
Boston U
Northeastern
UMiami
NYU
UChicago(Will work really hard on essays)</p>
<p>Thank you all so much in advance!</p>
<p>UChicago is a definite reach at this point but the others seem like matches, NYU being a high match and maybe BU as well. GPA and Test scores need work but EC’s are great</p>
<p>You have really great EC’s, so if you get your SAT’s up I think you’re pretty much set for all of those except Chicago, which is a reach for most people. Good luck!</p>
<p>Besides UChicago, most of the others are all matches/high matches. EC’s are pretty good, so yeah, just work on those standardized test scores.</p>
<p>You have some pretty solid EC’s. I would say try really hard to improve your SAT scores/take the ACT. Besides U Chicago you are looking pretty good on the others! But hey, improve those scores and you have a shot at U chicago.</p>
<p>chance me back!</p>

<p>Bump Bump. Can I please get some more opinions?:)</p>
<p>Work on the gpa and test scores. Course rigor is entirely determined on a per school basis, so if what you are telling us is accurate then you should not have a problem in that aspect. Work your best to convey your personal voice through the essays, especially for UChicago. But you are a strong candidate with great EC’s.

<p>If you don’t manage to get your SAT score up, U Chicago would probably be out of reach. Even with amazing essays, an 1810 is just too low. </p>
<p>However, if you can manage to get a 2100, you may be able to sneak in with phenomenal essays. Your GPA would still be a huge detriment, but there would be a very outside chance.</p>
U Chicago is a reach and the rest are matches I think. Being indian hurts you because its labeled broadly nder asian on the common app. Chance back? <a href=“
