Please let me know if you have any feedback for me or info you can give me on my chances at the colleges above even if I have to do ED for some of them to get in. I know my SAT isn’t the highest but I am trying to get that up and retaking it.
If you can get your SAT scores into the 1400s, you should have a shot at all but Duke. Your extra-circulars are a little light for the the top schools you listed. If you have taken any AP scores or SAT II tests, those could help solidify your resumé.
Get at least a 1450 on the SAT, two 700s+ on SAT subject tests, and get leadership positions and awards in your ECs. That will probably make you more competitive to apply to these schools
If you’re OOS for UCs, then it will cost 60,000 plus weighted GPA will take into account AP/IB/DE only.
UConn and Penn State are your only matches now. BU high match. All the others are reaches and you will need around a 1500+ SAT to target them.
