I had to look at this thread because of how you put 'realistically'. I think we are 'realistically' voicing our opinion to people on what college they will 'likely' get into.

Anyways, the information you give us let us have little to go with. It would help if you could supply us with your geographic location(depends on where you live can give you the advantage of getting in in-state v. out-of-state), rigor of course schedule (how many credit hours you have taken per semester), class level you are (freshman, sophomore could put an effect on GPA, freshman-3.4 v. sophomore-3.4 is a BIG difference). There's some more criteria that follow but supplying us with with some of that information would definately help us help you. P.S. Major could help too! Ex. Engineering or Fashion Merchandise

According to what you have, GPA mainly, UPenn and BU are very competitive schools to get into and does not look to be in your favor.

Other than that, if you live in Virginia, you have a very good chance of getting into George Mason, but even if you don't live in Virginia, you are still highly likely to get in.

Hope this helps!
