<p>I’m mostly worried about my GPA. What else do you think I need to do?</p>
<p>You have great everything. Your grades are a little low compared to the schools you are looking at and your SAT scores. Did you slack or do you go to a very competetive school/have a hard schedrule?</p>
<p>My schedule and school are quite hard, but I guess you can call what I do slacking. I go deeper than the curriculum, so while I know more than the people around me, I don’t feel like doing the work because it looks menial. I know it’s a bit arrogant-sounding, but I don’t mean it that way. My SAT scores will be a lot higher, I just took it in June again.</p>

<p>any ivy can pretty much be considered a reach. most schools wont look at your SAT writing score so thats good for you. If you can show that you are really dedicated to some of your ECs you should be good. play any sports?</p>

<p>y cut down on your list? if u know u can get certain big scholaships at some schools… keep ur list big… like 4 uga, u might be able to get the foundation fellow.</p>
<p>I dont think I can get a Foundation Fellowship because of my GPA. That was why it was on my list in the first place, but the more I think about it, the more I realize my GPA is killing me. Plus, I’ll still apply to all the colleges in my first list, I’m just cutting the list down to reflect my top choices.</p>
