<p>Test scores? Any AP classes? Going solely by your GPA, most of those schools are reaches. Even with the upward trend senior year, an 85 won’t get you in.</p>

<p>My school didn’t offer AP classes, but the classes they did offer for 12th grade were the equivalent, so that’s why I’m writing the AP exams in May - too late for consideration, I know…</p>

<p>My GPA is a 4
SATs 2000</p>

5

<p>The one that isn’t a reach is Tulane…</p>

<p>If 85% is a 4.0 back home, then Tulane is a match. I’m more inclined to say that it is closer to 3.4; then Tulane is a high match.</p>

<p>I hate to be blunt, but Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Princeton, UPenn, Brown, Vanderbilt, and Wellesley are very unrealistic considering your GPA and SAT scores.</p>
