<p>Your SAT score and ECs make you competitive for the schools you mentioned. However,a 3.5 weighted GPA may affect your admission chances. I’m assuming that your unweighted GPA would be around a 3.2, which is on the lower end for some of those schools. I would put GWU, AU, and Brandeis as mid-reaches and Boston University as a high reach. Rutgers is a high match. Again, this depends on your unweighted GPA as well. It could also depend on class rank, since you stated you go to a competitive high school (which, I imagine, means you have a low class rank). But good luck! Apply anyways, you (and I) never know. The only person (or people) whose opinion matters are the ADs at those schools!</p>
