<p>High Reach. Your transcript, while strong, will not be very competitive compared to other applicants. Your test scores would also need to be raised considerably.</p>

3

<p>Your extracurriculars are great, and your GPA is acceptable (I got in on a 3.56, so it’s not unheard-of). Your test scores, however, definitely need to be higher than that. You need to get at least a 27 or 28 on the ACT and a 1900-2000 on the SAT.</p>
