Things that would move your odds the most

  1. Aim for an SAT of 880+
    Hitting the 25th percentile puts you in the competitive range for admitted students.
  2. Maintain a GPA of 2.56 or higher
    Admitted students typically present grades at or above this level.
  3. Build a single deep extracurricular peak
    Depth beats breadth at selective schools — one nationally-visible accomplishment outperforms ten clubs.
  4. Strengthen one teacher recommendation
    A specific, personal letter from a teacher who knows your work moves the needle.
