<p>My biggest passions are the Student Board of Education and their work along with the curriculum I developed and photography. I plan on submitting photography as an arts supplement to the schools that offer it.</p>

<p>Thanks guys, I’ll chance anyone back.</p>

2

<p>GPA, rank, and SAT are far too low. Penn, Princeton, Harvard and Stanford are big reaches, but youre most likely in at Gtown if you EA there.</p>

3

<p>You are URM, so you have one big hook.
Are you good enough to get recruited for football? That would give you the other big hook.</p>

<p>Honestly, you will likely get into five of the seven schools you mentioned. Which five I can’t tell.</p>

<p>@ billabongboy9828 - I know that my GPA and rank aren’t great but can it somehow be made up for in other areas, say essays and ECs? Also, do these schools give more credit to IB students? </p>

<p>@ Soze - I think I have a chance to be recruited to play football but that’s absolutely not a guarantee. I’m also first generation, I don’t know how big of a hook that is but regardless, everything helps.</p>
