@kcgilmore With all due respect, I think you need to look at some less competitive schools because your stats are just not there. Your GPA is going to be on the low side for these schools and the level of rigor (just two IB courses) falls short of most successful candidates. In addition, you don’t have test scores to submit. To give you an idea, I know a girl who applied to many of the schools on your list last year, she was a national merit scholar, an IB diploma candidate, was taking 5 HL courses, had a GPA of 5.2 and an ACT of 35. She was denied at every one. Competition is fierce. Unless you’ve done something extraordinary and you have a hook or two, I think you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. There are plenty of great colleges that are more in your range and I recommend you focus more on schools where you have a chance of gaining admission. I wish you the best of luck.
