<p>Someone with similar stats in Raleigh was rejected to FCLC this EA session. I don’t know all what the committee saw, obviously, and how that played out. </p>

<p>Two things. Get the GPA up to 3.6 or above. Get the SAT up above 1250 to be in better shape.</p>

<p>Then apply to FCRH, where more dorm space is available.</p>

<p>I got accepted to FCLC with EA with sighly lower GPA but I had an SAT score of 1280 and alot more EC’s, international status as well as good recs and essay. I think you have a chance in getting in, 50/50 I think</p>

<p>I got in with a 3.45 gpa weighted. And an 1860 SAT score.
Since you have got extras you still stand a fairly good chance</p>
