<p>It depends whether or not you are in California for the UC’s but you should make it in there if you are. I really doubt Princeton and Wharton simply because there are gonna be so many kids with a 2300+ SAT but a better GPA. USC should be a match fo sho. make sure you write a good essay! Wanna chance me? You can look at the threads i’ve posted i think.</p>
<p>Princeton and the UCs don’t count freshman grades…hopefully that will help your GPA.</p>
<p>Also, my uncle attended Princeton for undergrad and is a world champion fencer…He broke records at Princeton. Can you get recruited for fencing?</p>
<p>SophieAnn
I am not trying to get recruited for fencing as it is extremely hard since most teams don’t need people at the moment. But what about the other schools, thanks.</p>
<p>You probably can’t get into berkeley, as of what I’ve seen of the entering class this year. I knew one kid with a great sat score (almost 2300 I think), but he lacked the gpa (had around a 4.0 weighted), and he didn’t get in. Davis: most likely you’ll get in.</p>
<p>^^on the contrary, i knew this one guy who got 2300 SATs and he had 3.98weighted. (hella slacker asian dude, but the guy is brilliant, like when he actually tries to write or like if you listen to him talk, the depth of critical thinking is amazing) And he got into Berkeley, and WUSTL (but not Cornell).</p>
<p>University of Pennsylvania (Wharton)-ED -reach, Wharton is on par with HYP
Cornell University - reach, they do care about GPA and class rank
Princeton University - high reach
Rice University - reach
UC Berkeley -match/low-reach
UC Davis -in
UC San Diego -in
UCLA -match
USC -match/low reach
other than UVA, rest are safeties</p>
<p>Cornell cares more about GPA than anything else. So I’d have to say that it’s out of reach for you.
Everywhere else is a definite possibility, even Wharton if you do ED.</p>
<p>Decent GPA, good SAT I and II scores, decent ECs (average leadership and good amount of volunteer work), and decent awards. </p>
<p>You are in a varsity sport, which is good, and you have some amount of commitment (a couple of ECs in which you have been a member for 3+ years). However, you are applying for financial aid, which doesn’t help, especially at Wharton.</p>
