<p>If you bring up your sat 100 points I’d say brown would be a low reach for you. The rest of your profile is stellar. You should maybe try your luck at the ACT.

<p>If Chinese is fluent and you are of Chinese descent (assuming), the 800 won’t look impressive at all. EC’s are very nice, but try to get another nice SATII, that’s what I’m trying to do too. Looks very good all around
please chance back:

<p>You are a competitive applicant for all of these schools I think. I guess you could bump your SAT a little bit to try to get a better chance, but it is fine to get you into some of the schools on your list. Rest of the stuff is great with the EC’s and everything.</p>

<p>-Brown-Reach: sat boost would help here

<p>-Brown - You should definitely get in. You have great grades, decent scores and good ecs. The only thing that I will say and honestly, please don’t be offended, is that the ivys and the elite schools have quotas for different ethnicities, and depending on what time you apply, that quota might have been filled so it’s just something to think about.</p>

<p>-UVA - University of Virginia I think? You should definitely be in.</p>

<p>-William and Mary - You’ll get in, though it might be a little teeny tiny reach.
-NYU - You’re in, no prob.
-Rice - Don’t know much about Rice, so I don’t know.
-UCLA - You should definitely be in.
-UC Berkley - Looove Berkeley, but it’s too far for me to go :frowning: You’ll get in.</p>

<p>-UNC Chapel Hill - Looked at this school too, definitely in.</p>

<p>-Cornell - That’s a reach, sorry hun. You’ll probably get in, but it’s really anything goes.</p>

<p>-Duke - Don’t know much about Duke…</p>

<p>-Johns Hopkins - You should get in no prob.</p>

<p>-Washington and Lee - Never heard of it…</p>

<p>-Washintong University in St. Louis - You should probably get in.</p>

<p>Please chance back ^_^</p>

<p>Thank you for all the chances. =) In reply to nardi925, yeah I’m Asian :stuck_out_tongue: I am definitely doing another SAT II (Math II) and hopefully doing well on that. </p>

<p>Litlhurry - Thanks, I know what you mean and no offense taken :stuck_out_tongue: I’m trying to apply Brown ED. Thank you.</p>

<p>I am chancing all of you back. =)</p>

<p>I live in Virginia, btw.</p>

<p>Nice profile!</p>

<p>most of these are high matches or low reaches. you either are applying to some tough schools that are reaches for everyone (Duke, Brown…) or some good public schools that you are OOS ( berkeley, UCLA, UVA, UNC…) if you applied to all of these, you would definately get some acceptances from some good scools, although a lot of rejections too. Best of luck to you.
