<p>Hi! I'm a high school senior and I'm wondering how I fit these schools.. I have a couple of safeties not listed here and some other schools that have accepted me. Anyway, here goes! </p>

Lehigh
College of William and Mary
Cornell</p>

<p>Thanks again!*:)</p>

<p>Cornell is extremely unlikely, your GPA is rather low for the school. Sorry I can’t speak to the rest of the schools.</p>

3

<p>If you are from NY, William and Mary chances are low. Cornell is always unpredictable. The other two are your safeties and look for more safeties.</p>

4

<p>You have a shot at any I them, but Cornell is a high reach because of your gpa. Unless of course you have a high class rank to make up for it.</p>

5

<p>You’re GPA will unfortunately keep you out of schools with less than a 30% acceptance rate in my opinion.</p>

<p>DAMN, I thought I would get there before ARTSYGIRL, failed again!</p>

<p>Your gpa hurts you applying to Cornell or W&M, but if you’re from NY or VA you have a chance because W&M must accept a certain number of VA residents and Cornell (in only some colleges) has to accept certain numbers of NY residents. If you’re out of state for both, your gpa is a big challenge</p>

<p>Thanks a lot guys! Appreciate the honesty. :)</p>

<p>W&M and Cornell are reaches for you because of GPA. For W&M your SAT scores are up there and might even be in their top 25 percent. But did you do bad one year and good the other years? If there is any reason for GPA, I’d ask your counselor to explain it and that would increase your chances. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for the reply AmbitiousDreams!
Yeah, I did well my freshman and sophomore years but royally screwed up junior year… </p>

<p>Does anyone know about how I fit University or Michigan?</p>

<p>bump!
Can anyone tell me how I look for U Michigan? Thank you!</p>

<p>Ga tech = low reach
Lehigh = match
Cornell = high reach (very unlikely)</p>

<p>GPA is a bit on the low side. Good Luck</p>
