<p>I know my SAT/ACT scores aren’t great, but I was hoping that my GPA and ECs would make up for it.</p>

<p>4.5 GPA what is your unweighted?</p>

<p>Yeah your SAT/ACT really need to be “amped” up</p>

<p>^the gpa isn’t all that necessary to know on the unweighted score… the op is 3/592 students- top 1% of their class.</p>

<p>upshot: ya, you’ve definitely got a shot.</p>

<p>take the ACT again maybe (it’s easier to improve on, in my opinion, but whatever), but if you don’t do any better don’t worry about it. just hang in there on the ECs for your senior year and you’re where you need to be.</p>

<p>best of luck!</p>
