<p>I really LOVE basketball, but it clashes with nearly ALL my extracurriculars, so I didn’t have the opportunity to play bball rigorously past freshman year.</p>
<p>even if the gpa is iffy, i predict quite a few fat envelopes, even from the bigger schools. probably even yale- if you really were on the international level in robotics. and if you are that intelligent, surely you know that your chances are great. u penn will take you. the only even slightly iffy place might be yale, but hey, 10 to 1 you’re in. the rest will almost definetly take you.</p>
<p>Hey, thanks man! Yeah, it’s sort of difficult to get a high GPA in my school. It’s out of 4.0 by the way, and that’s my unweighted. But yeah, you’re predictions are a lot more optimistic than mine haha!</p>

<p>I would beef up the Dartmouth-Penn range, where I think you will be pretty successful. I would consider adding Duke and maybe Brown to hedge your chances.</p>
<p>talk to the volleyball coaches at the DIII schools (so NYU, JHU). they will eat you up. small schools are starved for good athletes with good test scores.</p>
<p>“Robotics #1 in the world” thats a pretty amazing EC.
Great test scores and decent GPA so i would expect you to be accepted to several of the top schools that you are applying to.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses everyone! Let me clarify the robotics thing… Our team was part of the alliance that came in first at the Atlanta regional, which is technically an international event.</p>
<p>As far as volleyball is concerned, this is only my second year playing, but I’ve posted some pretty impressive stats… How competitive are DIII schools as far as athletics are concerned?</p>
