<p>ok at the moment Brown is what I'm thinking as my definite reach. Can someone please tell me how realistic this is for me. I am also looking at Pomona, USC, and Dartmouth, so it will probably change...

<p>I havent taken the SAT yet (taking it in June) and thats kind of a big factor, but can someone tell me what I should aim for on it?</p>
<p>My dad is an alum of Brown if it makes any kind of difference.</p>
<p>Brown took just over 7% this year, absolutely unreal!! The legacy will help lots, about double your chance, but that still leaves most legacies rejected. Hopefully your rank is high and you get 2200 plus.</p>
<p>colleges take into account how many APs your school offers, so don't worry if you feel that you haven't taken many APs. Overall, you have great grades, and your extracurriculars seem to be solid, assuming you show dedication in them. You definitely need to aim for at least a 2200 on your SAT's, but that is probably the lowest you can go, and 2250 would be much better. </p>
<p>With all that said, however, all Ivy's are reaches, and Brown and Dartmouth are both very tough to get into. It's always tough to evaluate chances for Ivy-league schools, unless a person is so underqualified that they do not stand a realistic chance. The good news for you, however, is that you are qualified to enter one of these universities, but it's tough for me to say whether you will get in or not. Good luck!</p>
<p>Suze, Brown accepted 13.5% a number that is similar to most of the Ivies. The guy who was running around saying Brown accepted 7% didn't understand the concept of yield.</p>
