<p>You really need to bring up the CR score for these schools as well as writing.</p>

3

<p>yeah, i’m thinkin maybe up 50 points-ish or so would do</p>

4

<p>ethnicity/background info would help</p>

<p>Its interesting, I am fairly similar to you in that I have a decent SAT (2080 for me) but it is not good nor appropriate for my rank (i am also #1)</p>

<p>Overall get your SAT up and show how you are diverse in some respect
You will probably get into one of those schools…</p>

<p>I’m a white male. nothing too special. family income is under $60k thoughh</p>

6

<p>def applying through questbridge too btw</p>

7

<p>yeah you will probably be a finalist (I will too hopefully!)</p>

<p>I think matches are a whole different story, but being a quest bridge finalist in RD for the Ivies gives you a great edge–thats what I have heard</p>

8

<p>oh goood. hopefully i get into columbia, its my dream school (:</p>

<p>bumpp</p>

<p>10char</p>

10

<p>bump. once again :/</p>

11

<p>I think if you bring up your SAT to a 2150+, you should be a competitive applicant
You have rigorous courses, and that looks really good, considering you did well on the AP exams
Your ECs are also very good
Good luck!</p>

<p>Can you chance me back also?

<p>i’m retaking june 6th, hopefully i’ll bring it up.
thanks!</p>

13

<p>I would say that you are in the range for columbia if you bring up you writing score. I don’t know much about UC or MIT, but i would say that you should bring up your math score as well. also, maybe you should portray more of an EC focus?</p>

14

<p>I think you have a good chance at getting in to all of them. Columbia along with all ivy league schools are hard for everyone, but with your GPA, Rank, and EC’s I think you have a great shot. Good luck</p>

<p>P.S thanks for the chance you gave me.</p>
