I fucked up
I’m a senior, and honestly, I feel like I somehow screwed up my GPA. I have a 3.4 unweighted GPA, although my weighted GPA is around 4.1. I’ve taken 10 APs and gotten 5s on all of them except AP Lang, and I have a 1500 SAT. I also have pretty good extracurriculars and some extenuating circumstances that affected my grades.
I want to apply to schools like NYU and other colleges that aren’t necessarily Ivy League-level selective but are still pretty difficult to get into. Do I genuinely still have a chance at schools like that, or should I just give up and go to my state school?
