<p>Your UW GPA is very low, and your ACT would be around the 25th percentile…</p>

<p>Your ECs don’t stand out as amazing…</p>

<p>I would say that unless you can truly show a lot of passion for one of your ECs, you will have a tough time :/</p>

<p>:(
…sigh…</p>

<p>well, one thing that does stand out is that fact that you’ve lived overseas. ivies, especially columbia and brown, love students who have “experience the world.”</p>

<p>but you’re in the top 20%? hmm that’s not really high enough :frowning: and your ECs don’t stand out. you should show your passion in your essay! i’m not saying it “make” your app, as scores and GPA are the number one thing, but it will help. </p>

<p>good luck!</p>
