Answer 1

if you have the money it seems like your grades arent too bad, i always thought you needed a 4.0 gpa though

Answer 2

I think you need a backup plan.

You might be able to get in. You are probably qualified to get in. But the fact is that most qualified students do not get in.

If your GPA is unweighted, then you are about average for the students who get into top universities in the US. If it is a weighted GPA -- then you are quite a bit lower than the average, and I don't like your chances.

Your SAT scores are about 150-200 points lower than the typical successful candidate at top schools.

Harvard only accepts 8% of those who apply. My guess is that about 75% of those who apply have better grades and scores than you have. I assume that you can do the math.

This will be true for any top 10 university in the US. In order to get in, you have to REALLY stand out. Your activities won't do that for you (unless you are a world class athlete). In order to stand out, you need a great interview and a killer admissions essay. With those, you have a small chance. Without them -- you have absolutely no chance at the top ten.

The good news is that you will certainly get into some excellent unviversities. I would look at some of the better public universities, some universities rankes 20-40 (rather than 1-2), some of the better Liberal Arts colleges and some of the better regional universities. Definitely apply to a couple schools at the top.

Answer 3

Naina in Kal Ho Naa Ho. I would possibly not quit so comfortably for anybody that I love.Also it sort of feels a little ridiculous if I moved on so comfortably & quick to anybody new correct after a heartbreak...I would possibly not be capable to try this...

Answer 4

Answer 5

I hope that you are able to get in. Unfortunately, less qualified students (such as our president), are able to get into these prestigious institutions because of generous financial contributions of parents.
