<p>get those scores up!!!!!
admissions at HYPS is always a crapshoot <strong>for qualified applicants</strong>
But until you've got scores that put you at least in the 25% range, I wouldn't necessarily say you're "qualified," and therefore it's even more of a crapshoot</p>

<p>unless you're black or [even better] native american.</p>

<p>I would give the same answer to a sliiiiiiightly less degree for Duke, UVA OOS, and maybe Northwestern</p>

<p>lol i'm not black nor native american. i'm asian... which is probably worse lol. i completely agree that i need to get my scores up. that sat score was my first one and i didn't study AT ALL :/ i worked hard over the summer so i'm anticipating a dramatic change :)</p>

<p>i live in virginia so i won't be oos for uva</p>

<p>anyone else? i'd appreciate it :)</p>

<p>Take your SAT in October, SAT 2s in November, and apply regular decision. If you were to apply early with those stats, your chances would be hindered. I wish you the best of luck. Stay humble and you might find yourself happily surprised!</p>

<p>Yeah - SAT II's. I know Stanford seems to love Math IIC, but if it's not your thing, it's not your thing. and try to raise some test scores... Honestly, i'm not sure ND is a safety. VTech may be. I'm looking at similar schools</p>

<p>i'm planning on taking math II, chem, and maybe literature or spanish for sat IIs.
oh sorry, i didn't mean to sound like ND was my safety. only VTech is on that list. would you recommend any other universities? is amherst way out of reach?</p>
