<p>I have posted one of these before but my stats have changed a bit.
Senior from CA. I am lower income, female, african american, and I have a brother with a severe disability. My dad left my family when I was a baby and I have no contact with him. (hooks I guess, I didn’t know that they were until one of my friends told me)
Okay, so here come my stats.
I have a 3.85 GPA for soph and jr years combined. frosh year was problematic for me(only a 3.192) so that brings my cumulative down to around a 3.6. but i have a rising GPA in harder classes. I go to a competitive college prep. No rank.

Thanks in advance for any advice!</p>
<p>Wow, I don’t see any of these schools as a problem for you. African American with Good SATS, plenty of Ec’s. Only question i have for you is, if you are from a low income, how are you affording a college prep school? Financial aid?</p>
<p>^^^
I noticed that too but I felt I didn’t feel like correcting over such a small mistake, though I would rather have a 1440 than a 1420.
Any other takers?</p>
<p>You’re in California right? You should apply to some UCs as safeties. And yeah, you sound like a good candidate for any top-tier school. Good luck!!!</p>
