Worried About Low GPA

<p>Hello, </p>

<p>I go to a nationally acclaimed public magnet school specifically for business (intended major), and my unweighted GPA is a 3.815- my school does not weight GPA. I had a 3.446 freshman year, and 4.0's sophomore and junior year. All my freshman and sophomore courses were very rigorous due to the nature of my school, and all my junior courses were taught at the IB level. In addition, I will graduate with the IB Diploma. </p>

<p>I have a 2250 on the SAT, as well as a 750 on the Chemistry and US History SAT II, and a 780 on the Math SAT II. </p>

<p>I have leadership positions on six clubs, three of which I have founded as not for profits, and made them clubs at my school. I also have the Presidential Award for Volunteer Service, and have 250+ volunteer hours. </p>

<p>I am also on NHS, Spanish Honor Society, and am decently accomplished on my school's Model UN Team, and very accomplished on my schools DECA chapter, (won numerous awards/am on the chapter board). </p>

<p>I also do business research at my school, and have done political campaigning, and have had two internships in finance/business. I am also on my school's golf team.</p>

<p>Do I have a shot at schools like Georgetown, Northwestern, Duke, Vanderbilt, Boston College, and University of Michigan? I am just worried that I have nothing that stands out from any other applicant. I am also very willing to apply ED and EA. </p>

<p>Also, any suggestions on good EC's to improve my chances? Any other school suggestions as well?</p>

<p>Thanks in Advance!</p>

<p>You honestly fine. Reember that they consider you holistically. You have an impressive record and the low end was during freshmen year so your positive trend will help you. Keep in mind those are some competitive schools so as long as you apply to some match and safety schools you will be fine. </p>
