At first glance, your GPA is your biggest hurdle. Basically you have three semesters to get straight As before you apply. Even so, your GPA will be about 3.8 (4 semesters x 3.67 = 14.68 plus 3 x 4.0 =12 equals 16.68/7 semesters = 3.81). Is 4 APs the most rigorous schedule available to you? If not, and unless you are an NCAA level recruitable athlete or some other hook, your chances are very remote – even the context of everyone’s poor chances.

Best of luck to you however – even if a school like Yale is unlikely, you’ve achieved quite a bit and seem to be destined to do well in college.
