<p>I would do it. I’m sort of in the same boat as you got a 3.5 gpa and good sats hoping to get it up 2100 in october. Ill give you some advice my doctor gave me. “Don’t tell yourself no”, let them tell you no. So basically its like this dont say well my scores arent the best and my gpa isnt the best I shouldnt even apply. If you really want to go there then apply and let them tell you no. No one her can tell you exactly what the admission officers are thinking. Apply and hope for the best thats what I am doing. Me personally I I’m 12th in my class of 70 with a 3.5 gpa and Im applying even though even one here basically tells me I have no chance. Believe n your self.</p>

<p>That’s really great advice, I know it is good to apply to a few reaches, about 4 or 5 schools in your range, and 2 or 3 safety schools. Haha obviously these are the reaches.</p>
