Can I get in?

<p>I got 590 in Writing, 660 in Math and 52 in Reading.</p>

<p>I got a total of 1970 in three SAT Subject Tests.</p>

<p>I've a reasonably good track record in academics. Mostly As.</p>

<p>Do I stand a chance to get into MIT, Harvard, Yale, Stanford or Princeton?</p>

<p>You would need outstanding, unique ECs or great athletic abilities since your test scores are in the bottom 25% for Harvard.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>Any advice on which universities I should apply to with these scores?</p>

<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>Thanks, I really appreciate that.</p>

<p>Agreed. Re evaluate your list.</p>

<p>no</p>

<p>there are people at the school that i got accepted - an outstanding state school - rejected with 2000’s with 4.0+'s (recalculated GPA)</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>

<p>^Seconded. Taking criticism well is a sign of maturity but also humility that is very impressive. </p>

<p>Love to give feedback about other schools if you give some more info.</p>

<p>Size? Location? Cost? Possible major/fields of study? Etc.</p>
