<p>What colleges should I look at with a 3.6 GPA UW at a competitive school and a 2250 SAT?</p>

<p>I’m taking the SAT again this June.</p>

<p>You need to give a lot more information. Intended major, extent that money is an issue, desired location, desired campus size, desired school type.</p>

3

<p>Biochem,bio
Money= not an issue
US, anywhere
Private.
Oh yea, Preferred to be in top 50 according to USNWR.</p>

4

<p>Urban, suburban, rural matter? Big, medium, or small size matter? Any preferred religious affiliation?</p>

5

<p>Doesn’t matter X2, and no.</p>

6

<p>Try USC (private, nonreligious, good biochem, high rank). 3.6 might be a bit of a stretch, but a 2250 will help.</p>

<p>Again, though, that’s just a loose starting point.</p>

<p>I really like WUSTL, any say as to whether my EC’s are going to help my gpa? Like I said, it’s a very competitive school.</p>

8

<p>Well, GPA is usually put into the context of rank, so what’s that like?</p>

<p>I don’t know what your activities are, but if they’re very good, that will help.</p>

<p>My school doesn’t rank, but I am on the crust of top ten %.</p>

<p>I am a Muslim, so my activities include preaching, holding interfaith debates, and fundraising for my local mosque. Other than that, I am a science guy, I made it into USABO semis, and I am a Siemens semifinalist for 2010. I do research at a local biotech company, i’ll probably get a letter from the CEO. I am applying ED, and making a visit soon. I like my religious EC’s because they show Im actually doing it for the sake of god, not college admissions.</p>

<p>That sounds good. I think you’ll have a good shot at WUSTL.</p>
