Come on, you know that your SAT score is super low. 3.75 is also low for your GPA. You do not list any great ECs. What have you done for the past 3 1/2 years that you cared about? First generation will help you, but it seems unlikely that it will be enough. Your app is submitted now so just wait it out like everyone else.

I wouldn’t necessarily say 3.75 is low given that you have taken honors and APs; however, I do agree that the SAT is gonna be a problem its low for them. ECs lack a certain standout factor to make you unique. Being a first generation student will help, but ultimately I don’t think it’ll be enough. Good luck though!
