<p>What are some good schools that put most emphasis on everything other than grades and test scores. </p>

<p>I have a 3.25 GPA and a 24 ACT (retaking)
but I have phenomonal recs, and ecs and plan to write good essays.</p>

<p>I don’t think you can attend a Top 25 with those scores. A top 50-75 may be possible and so would a public college that you are in-state for, such as Uconn. Maybe Northeastern?</p>

3

<p>Not thinking that high but more along the lines Boston U, U of Miami, and
Case Western</p>

4

<p>Case is a stretch, so is Boston but if you have a high ACT then it could become a match. Also is that 3.25 unweighted? How many APs/IBs or honors classes did you take? What rank are you? </p>

<p>Umiami would prob. be a match.</p>

5

<p>School only offered 3 aps took honors courses though. GPA is basically unweighted but weighted is only like 3.29. I am taking a princeton review class for the ACT and hoping for a 26-28.</p>

6

<p>the ecs im refering to are</p>

<p>Varsity Wrestling Captain
Internship/recommendation with UMich Dearborn Professor
Intership/rec from state representative
great teacher rec
JV Cross Team
Several Awards
100+ Volunteer Hours
Prolly a few other things im forgetting</p>
