final college list-is it realistic?

[desert ermine]

Yes but tbh the gpa might hold u back from most if not all reaches

Still apply tho if u have time and money bc ur ecs are good right

If u have a 1500+ or a 34+ that would def help as well

wait so ill get rejected?😭 also which one's

[tame lagoon]

It’s likely that 3.6 will hurt a lot

[stone crest]

well i did have some circumstances so i could not rlly focus on school my sophomore yr (thats why my gpa dropped). would that help with apps?

[cursive wharf]

define high course rigor? And do you have a test score

[stone crest]

17AP/DE, took as many honors courses possible, will probs have an associates by the end of high school or pretty close!

[cursive wharf]

Do you have AP scores to pair with the classes?

If so that could really help

[stone crest]

i have 2 (4's)

idk im fine going to my state school bc ik my stats aren't the best. i just feel like it's always worth trying tho

[cursive wharf]

Your list looks good, it’s worth applying to the reaches because the process can be random

Agree 100%

[stone crest]

will my gpa rlly shut me out tho? i might cut a few school out

[cursive wharf]

It probably will at some and won’t at others

[stone crest]

which ones (reaches?)

[cursive wharf]

There’s no way for anyone to know

Depends how individual people feel as the read your apps

Very random process

[stone crest]

cool pfp btw

[cursive wharf]

Thanks lmao

A company I worked for got them done for their team

[stone crest]

thats so cool!

tysm for the advice

[cursive wharf]

Best of luck!

Wait

What major are you applying for?

[stone crest]

gov/public health!

[cursive wharf]

Nice, was just making sure it wasn’t CS or business or nursing

[stone crest]

why?

[cursive wharf]

Those direct entry programs have significantly lower acceptance rates than most other majors.

[desert ermine]

Do you have an sat/act score?

Def mention the reason but to be completely honest there are ppl applying to these schools with extenuating circumstances and still have high GPA (this is not to belittle anything you have gone through as no one can measure that but it's a fact)
