<p>I agree with ib612. Since your GPA is not really in the range for basically all of the top 25 colleges, you will need to make up for it with your SAT/ACT scores. Since grades are pretty subjective, colleges use standardized testing to ensure you can actually do the work at their school. If you get into the 2200’s, you will definitely have a shot but you will still need killer essays, etc. </p>
<p>Are you referring to a top 25 University or top 25 Liberal Arts College or both? Just so people can actually know what sort of schools to suggest that you look at.</p>
