@Failtrail527 Apply to at least one public state school as a safety/match both for admissions and cost. Your stats are probably enough for consideration at Rutgers Honors college, which cuts a large school down to a manageable size and would connect you to like-minded peers. I know that people in NJ tend to diss Rutgers, but it is a reputable Research I university and it has a lot of resources and many strong academic departments. You wouldn’t lack for German courses there.

St. Olaf is a wonderful school and I think your demonstrated commitment to study abroad would play well there.

BTW, there is nothing weird or problematic about your weighted GPA. There is incredible variation across schools about how they weight courses. Most colleges and universities will recalculate according to their criteria.

I am also a big fan of Case Western - it’s a serious, mid-sized research university with strengths across the curriculum. Demonstrated interest is important, though. For your stats, probably a match, but the school is wary of applicants who seem like they might be using it as a safety and apply as an afterthought.
