That was my unweighted; my weighted was roughly 3.9(not much better, I know). I hear that retaking the SAT is actually a bad thing to do because they want to see what you were at before a collegiate level. Also, the extremely positive trend that I have, which I hear from many advisors, is something they really look for. Even the transfer people at Cornell that I spoke to said that the high school performance is a secondary factor to the personal statements and college GPA.

As for my letters of recommendation, they should be excellent. I have the Math Department chair of my school as one who I have built a close relationship with, and I’m trying to choose a great second recommendation. As I said before, essay writing is my strong point, so I am not concerned about that either.

I appreciate the criticism and I’m definitely going to consider everything you said; I knew that UPenn and Colombia were stretches. Basically, I just need to know what I can do to improve my application and make myself more competitive. I’m working on finding an internship.
