<p>Am I aiming too low or too high?</p>
<p>I hope my GPA will improve over the next two years, and I have a decent amount of EC's.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for any help.</p>
<p>This is such a refreshing post. Why? Because 1) you are honestly seeking people's opinion and you want to apply to schools that aren't commonly talked about on CC. CC sometimes makes it seem like there are only 20 colleges in the US: the Ivys, and the other handful of schools with admission rates <30%. </p>
<p>I don't know much about the admission policies of those schools you listed, but I know that many schools don't look at, or even care much about, your freshman grades. But even if they do care to look, they will see you have progressed, as you noted, from Cs to As and will be impressed. If you can pull off an SAT of 1600-1800, you should be set!</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply.</p>
<p>I thought a 1600-1800 score was quite low.</p>
<p>Am I wrong?</p>
<p>Bump...you're welcome.</p>
<p>No, jk. See how it goes your junior year. If you can maintain a 3.8-4gpa next year then def aim higher. But the thing is, I'm not sure i know anything about the colleges you listed above...but w/e.</p>
<p>oh ok thanks for the reply</p>
<p>You might be able to get into Drexel with a sats near 2k i believe</p>
<p>1600-1800 is low for CC, it's quite decent in the real world. </p>
<p>Steady improvement is a plus. I don't know much about those schools, but I think if you keep on improving you'll definitely have a shot at them. Are you in-state for any of them? If so, that'll help.</p>
<p>I am in-state for 3 of those colleges because I live in WA (UW, WSU, WWU)</p>
<p>and for Drexel, do you mean the Drexel normal undergrad. or the MD Program?</p>
<p>Thanks for your replies.</p>
<p>wow thats alot of bumps...
Just work hard junior yr then come back - ur trying to pick colleges to early- enjoy ur life</p>
