<p>NYU, Tufts, and Penn State might be harder for you to get into because of yuor GPA; that’s what’s really killing you. Otherwise, I think you have a fantastic shot everywhere!</p>

<p>(btw - i’m an IBer, too! yay!)</p>

<p>Chance me for Middlebury, Brown, and Swarthmore?

<p>uhhh your GPA is extremely low… Infact, if you look at Princeton’s GPA spread for people admitted, only 3% of the applicants had a 3.5 GPA or lower.
[Princeton</a> University | Admission Statistics](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/admission_statistics/]Princeton”>http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/admission_statistics/)
considering that you are international, that is really bad for you.</p>

<p>Your SAT is also low for an applicant. I know you have done lots of good work extracurricularly, but YOU NEED THE SCORES AND GPA FIRST before you can get accepted</p>
