<p>If your rank is high, I would ED Tufts as your best possibility for a top school without a major score rise. For the legacy boost, you need to show the love ED.</p>

<p>I’m gonna be honest with you because i think a lot of people here are being to nice (sorry). Your sats and sat IIs aren’t that good. Also colleges usually look at uw gpa not weighted, so that’s very important. </p>

<p>UVA (dad went there, app would count as in-state) - High match</p>

<p>Dickinson - match</p>

<p>Franklin and Marshall - match</p>

<p>McGill - High match to small reach (25th percentile in sats is 1940, yours are low. But it has a really good acceptance rate)</p>

<p>Hamilton - reach (25th percentile in sats is 1300 out of 1600, yours are too low)</p>

<p>Colgate - high match (same as Hamilton + low acceptance rate)</p>

<p>Tufts (Mom went there) (25th percentile in sats is 2010) - small reach</p>

<p>Macalester - high match</p>

<p>Tulane - high match (it has a 27% acceptance rate and your sats are on the low end) </p>

<p>American - Match (50 percent acceptance rate and your sats are in the middle)</p>

<p>Grinnell - reach</p>

<p>Haverford - big reach (25th percentile sats are 1960, yours are on the low end)</p>

<p>Wesleyan - big reach. (same as haverford) </p>

<p>Brown - no shot at all, unless you cure cancer. Sorry but the 25th percentile sats are 1980, and it has a 14 percent acceptance rate.</p>

<p>Bates - small reach</p>

<p>Middlebury - Big reach. </p>

<p>I know sats aren’t everything, but if your sats are below a schools 25th percentile, I think the school is a reach, unless your grades are amaizng, which yours are not. What’s your unweighted GPA? that matters a lot.</p>

<p>Also i have no idea what 92jjxx is talking about, how is Wesleyan an “in” but American is a reach? American has a 53 percent acceptance rate, Wesleyan has a 27%. Wesleyans average sat is 200 points higher than Americans. Honestly, you should disregard him/her completely. </p>

<p>Tulane isn’t a safety since your scores are much lower than there average. (they also seem to be a very score oriented school from what I’ve heard.) </p>

<p>Your ecs are very good so write a lot about those, if you write really good essays that might make up for your sats ( also your sat IIs are terrible).
I think most colleges will think you have a really easy school or that your not a good test taker. </p>

<p>Also, rank is very important, what is yours?</p>

<p>I know this isn’t the answer you wanted, and I’m sorry. </p>
