Or any other ideas?</p>
<p>i’m new to doing this, but i’m basing it generally off people i know who have gotten into these schools. </p>
<p>Northwestern - ED: you may reconsider taking the SAT (good score, but nothing to lose retaking), but low reach
USC: high safety
UCLA: are you in state (am i overlooking this?)
UMD-CP: i don’t know
Cornell: ivies are reaches, but i’ve seen some strange acceptances from Cornell, so I’ll deem it a low reach
Claremont McKenna: match
Carnegie Mellon: match
UPenn: refer to Cornell comment, sans the strange acceptances
UT- Austin: I would say match</p>
<p>I’m a prospie like you so I’m just guessing…</p>
<p>Northwestern ED - high match/low reach
USC - safety
UCLA - match (just b/c you’re out of state)
UMD-CP - not sure, but based on the acceptance rate, I wanna say safety?
Cornell - low reach
Claremont McKenna - low reach
Carnegie Mellon - high match / low reach
UPenn - low reach (reach if it’s Wharton)
UT-Austin - somewhere between safety and match</p>
<p>I agree with clo28 that even a slightly higher SAT score will improve ur chances significantly.</p>
<p>(btw I just think it’s really cool u worked in the Iraqi embassy loll)</p>
<p>What is your rank or where do you stand in your class? Ivies will be tough from a top high school. They get lots of apps from such schools and your scores will be low in your pool. NU ED? I would guess deferred, waiting for higher scores and a strong first semester.</p>
