<p>my GPA is a 3.7. good for sure, but not great compared to the others of the colleges im applying to. my highest section scores on the SAT are: math 790, writ 760 CR 720. pretty good i think. im planning on taking it again in hopes of picking up the critical reading score. so my question is: can this score sort of "pick up" my gpa? i was really depressed for the first two years of high school ( i plan on writing my admissions essay on my own depression) and averaged a 3.56; i made perfect grades jr year taking very rigorous classes. i go to a very difficult prep school, which i hope will make my grades look better.</p>
<p>my extracurics are great, multiple 4 yr commitments (music program, baseball team), jobs, internships, appeared in newspaper for leading a service project, im sure my recs will be just as good, but the grades are the only thing bringing me down. what do people think?
could i get into duke early desicion, unc, elon, uva, maybe even Penn early decision?</p>
