<p>If I’m reading your stats correctly your unweighted GPA is around 3.0, and you must have taken about 10 year-long honors courses to get the 3.5 W GPA you are saying you have.</p>
<p>Therefore the only four schools on this list you have any kind of chance at (unless you plan to play sports at them) are Virginia Tech, Northeastern, Pitt, and Illinois–and only because your SATs are so high. I rate your chances at these as:</p>
<p>Virginia Tech-match to slight reach
Pitt–match to slight reach
Illinois-match to slight reach
Northeastern-slight reach</p>
<p>All the others are:
Carnegie Mellon-reach
U Maryland-reach
Northwestern-no chance
Cornell–no chance
U Michigan-reach
Columbia–no chance</p>
<p>Perhaps you computed this GPA incorrectly though–in which case, please repost and we’ll re-do the chances.</p>
<p>yea 4.43/6 is weighted and my unweighted is around 3.4-3.5</p>
