<p>Hey CC. I'm from CT and looking at these schools pretty heavily.</p>

<p>SAT: Only took it once, taking again in october and taking ACT in September.
1950 (680M, 610R, 660W)
Hopefully 2050+ next time</p>

<p>All honors and AP's took AP Chem my junior got an A- in it, 750 on subject test and 5 on the exam.</p>

<p>Next year taking AP Calc BC, AP Latin, and AP Euro.
Weighted GPA is a 3.83, not sure on unweighted GPA (keep in mind classes like cooking and business of sports dropped my GPA, kind of fooled around in them and got B+'s :)</p>

<p>Member of ultimate frisbee club, squash club (possible captain next year) YACS, latin club and have 50+ hours of community service.</p>

<p>Gold medal in third year National Latin Exam.</p>

<p>Good course rigor, all honors and AP's all throughout High School.</p>

<p>National honor society and national science + math honors society</p>

<p>Also what would be some good reaches for me if the schools above are not?</p>

<p>How would my chances look if I got my SAT to 2050+?</p>

<p>I know this is the third time I've made this thread but my others have received no new replies even after countless bumps.</p>

<p>I go to a highly competitive school where my 3.8 looks like a 4.0. My scores fall in most of these schools ranges and my essay is EXTREMELY strong and my recs are good.</p>

<p>You need to calculate the uwGPA if your school do not calculate for you. You may simply put 4 for all As, 3 for all Bs, etc and average them. There is no standard for weighed GPA that we don’t even know your GPA of 3.83 is out of what maximum value.
Your current SAT is below the 25% for UMich by 80 points. So it will be a reach for you.</p>

5

<p>Using A=4 B=3 etc my unweighted GPA is a 3.55</p>

6

<p>Damn dude you can consider USC a high reach then.</p>

7

<p>lol my bad. UW is a 3.55 W is still like a 3.85</p>

8

<p>Ok much better haha.</p>

<p>You can’t do that much on your GPA anymore so that’s that. You can try to improve your SAT or take ACT to compensate.</p>

<p>USC: High reach
UCSB: match to low reach
UIUC: low reach
NYU: reach
UCB: High reach
UW - Madison: Low Reach
UMiami: reach
UMich: low reach
UNC: reach</p>

<p>Please chance back:

<p>How is every single school there a reach, despite me coming out of Fairfield county (notorious for tough school districts) and a 3.85ish W gpa and a 3.55 UW GPA??</p>

12

<p>You can get into NYU. NYU can accept the 2000 or high sats</p>

13

<p>Your SAT score match up with your GPA, and your GPA is very weak for most of these schools. You may have slightly better chance for UCSB, UWI, and UMiami.</p>

14

<p>UMiami: High match
UCSB: High match
UWI: High match/low reach
USC: Reach
U-M: High reach
NYU: High match</p>

15

<p>what makes all of these high matches? does a strong essay help?</p>

16

<p>UW Wisconsin only looks at unweighted GPA. Most kids who get accepted there are around a 3.7 GPA or higher unweighted. Your SAT scores are not high enough currently to make up for that. Possibly if your ACT or SAT score rises when you take it again. It is harder to get in as an OOS student than instate…</p>

<p><a href=“https://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg01_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=1703[/url]”>https://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg01_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=1703&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>^^ UW GPA = 3.63
mine is a 3.55
seems to be in the right ballpark</p>

18

<p>You are looking at the wrong data. 3.63 is for students that are interested or are looking at this school. Look under the header “Qualifications of enrolled freshmen”. Average UW GPA is 3.83.</p>

19

<p>I just have trouble believing it would be a reach for me when on naviance the data from my school shows the average accepted weighted GPA (again, from my shcool) is a 3.91 and the average SAT (single sitting) is a 1948</p>

20

<p>Also, acceptance rate from my school to UW-madison is 17/34… i think i have a pretty good shot</p>
