stats are a little low (sat's), rank is low also. I dont see any extracurriculars that stand out or anything that you have shown a passion for. Just noticed your GPA was weighted, well now thats low too. Idk doesnt look good.

So a weighted GPA of 3.9 is about a 98 average. That's TOO low?

Well, I think the top 15% rank/ 1300 may be a bit problematic but I think otherwise it's worth an app - as long as you know that it's a reach/crapshoot go for it. Don't sweat the GPA so much. Idaho will help.

Oh yeah, if you have any other questions....Id be glad to answer...
