I know that my gpa is quite low for some of the reach schools I am applying to, but does anyone know any top tier colleges that care “less” about GPA? E.G. I heard UChicago does not care too much about what your gpa actually is, but takes more into account your class rigor etc. Anyone have suggestions/ know some of these reach schools that I should be applying to?
