<p>I think you have a great chance at American, Boston, and GW. Actually, even though your GPA is kind of low, it’s balanced by the fact that you go to Exeter - so you’re probably in at American. I’d put Boston as a match/low match for you and GW as a match/high match. I would really try to get your SAT at 2200+. It’s not a big deal, but it won’t hurt. It will help sure up that low GPA.</p>

<p>By the way, I’m like 98% sure there is no “AP Contemporary Middle East”, along with some really weird other ones you listed.</p>
