I am 2nd out of ~250 students at a public school in Denver</p>

<p>I am taking the hardest classes at my school (AP Lit, AP Chem, AP US Hist this year, as many honors courses as possible 9.10.11 grades)</p>

<p>My SAT I scores were 660 M, 620 V, 620 W
ACT 27 (these are what I am concerned about)</p>

<p>I don't think you should have a problem with any of those colleges. Word of advice though, take up more of an active role in clubs, do more leadership.</p>

<p>Best of Luck</p>

<p>thanks for the input/suggestion!</p>

<p>Any more thoughts?!</p>

<p>you could do a lot better than those schools if you added a few ECs with leadership positions</p>

<p>how much of an impact do you think my low test scores will make at schools like Grinnell, Kenyon, Mac, and Oberlin?</p>
