<p>You’ll really need to do better second semester this year and first semester next year, and probably wait until RD for 12th grade semester 1 grades. Your Core GPA, which exclude business, Arabic, PE, is only about 3.1. If we add Arabic, it’ll be 3.3, which is still too low. Dropping math was probably a bad idea, considering you got an A 2nd semester sophomore year. Most applicants take 4 years of math up to and sometimes beyond Calculus. If you add Calculus next year and ace the first semester, they might be forgiving towards your low math grades.</p>
<p>If you can prove your school is rigorous with a high rank and high SAT score (include subject tests), then you have a better chance.</p>
<p>another note…i have awsome ECs (winning several national competitions, having high leadership positions, and community service awards). I also have a good ACT-28</p>
