Ok, if your school has a record of sending students with a 3.7 to colleges on your list, you have a shot. Odds are still against your getting in, because so few do, but it means your school is a “known quantity” and they’ll know how to interpret your GPA/rank.
Btw, 9th grade doesn’t count as much as the rest and in any case you clearly learned from youthful errors. So, don’t waste tine on regrets ![]()
Seconding Barnard - run the NPC!
What about Fordham? Loyola Chicago or DePaul? Northeastern? Pitt? Macalester? Agnes Scott?
Run the NPC for each^ and check out those that seem within budget (they’re all very different so selecting the best fit for you would be best).
