What are my chances at my reach schools?

<p>Reach schools: Vanderbilt, Duke, USC, Georgetown</p>

<p>Female, white, Georgia</p>

<p>ACT: 32</p>

<p>SAT
CR: 800
Math: 680
Writing: 680</p>

<p>National Merit Semifinalist
AP Scholar with Honor</p>

<p>I've taken 8 AP classes, all the rest Honors, and 4 Joint Enrollment classes at the local college.</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.6
Weighted: 3.81</p>

<p>Extra-curriculars are average...plenty of them but nothing spectacular. I have lots of volunteer work and some paid work experience (again solid but not spectacular).</p>

<p>I'm retaking both the SAT and ACT after doing plenty of test prep (I didn't do any for either test the first time, and know I can raise my math score). What are my chances at getting accepted at any of the above school?</p>

<p>I’m worried that me GPA may be too low even though I took a very challenging schedule.</p>

<p>3.6 is not “low.” Somewhat for those schools, but your essays will make the difference.</p>
