<p>Your SAT scores (especially SAT IIs), and your AP scores are really good. I’m jealous.</p>

<p>I think that your GPA might be a problem for those top-tier schools, but if theres a good reason for the screw-ups during Freshman and Sophomore year you could try to sneak an explanation into your essays. </p>

<p>Good luck!!</p>
