<p>Not to be discouraging but I don’t think those SAT scores stand you a chance at those colleges. Take a look at the admission threads for those schools in recent years. There are students with much higher SATs and GPAs of 4.0 unweighted that have been denied admission. A brilliant student at my child’s school was just deferred from MIT with 1600 Math/CR SATs, 4.0 UW GPA, taking college math the past two years, and outstanding ECs by any measure. Sorry. I think you will have a much better application experience and save a lot of money if you focus on schools more in line with your scores.</p>
<p>Try using the SuperMatch at CC to start getting an idea of what colleges match your scores. You can also search by specific graduation rates at ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■.</p>
<p>Pretty much agree with what’s been said. Those schools have an average SAT of 2250. If you have outstanding ECs you may have a shot, but if not then it’s a major reach. Still apply if you really want to go, but find some safer bets.</p>
<p>I admire you for asking for advice and taking the responses so well. One question: What do you think you’d like to study in college? That makes a difference when you’re trying to select a place to attend. You want to go to a school where you’ll be successful AND get the education you need for the career you want. So…what do you want to study?</p>
