If you don’t know what you want to do, CAS has the most diverse array of majors, but it is on the more selective side. Each school has its own individual admissions process. Although you can apply to more than one school, you must rank them on the common app, and they will not offer you admission to more than one.

Since most people apply to CAS, I’ll chance you on it. Your GPA is a bit on the low side, and since there’s no class ranking system, there’s no way to compare you to other students, which will be a huge downfall for you. However, your SAT seems average for the school, and your ECs overall are great. If you can pull up your grades through the end of junior year and the beginning of senior year, you’d have a decent shot at admissions, though you’d probably be considered to be an average candidate.
