<p>With your GPA you will be competitive at any school. Your SAT score is very very good, but it wouldn’t hurt to raise it a bit for those Ivies.
It’s hard to guarantee for Princeton, Columbia ect… but you will definitely be a competitive applicant! I’d say you are in at CMU, Northwestern, and NYU. I think your chances are great at cornell as well!
good luck!</p>

<p>if you get a chance could you chance back? :slight_smile:

<p>Thanks a lot for the responses guys, but I am trying to make my ACT the main sort of score with the SAT IIs, if that means anything.
Chanced back :D</p>

<p>a girl in my school went to Cornell this past year, and everything you have far exceeds what she had. You are a definite candidate for NYU, Northwestern, Cornell, and Columbia. I am very impressed with your EC’s at Cornell specifically. I think you will get into Cornell for sure. </p>

<p>Got time? Chance me!

<p>I hope I get into Cornell ED haha it just gets more and more competitive/random per year, and yeah obv chanced back haha.</p>

7

<p>Get that critical reading score up! And, do you know how you did on the AP’s?</p>

8

<p>I don’t know yet but I got my essay score back for the ACT - 12. And my GC advised me that the 36 reading on the ACT makes up for a 690 lol and I’m gonna stick to her advice over others lol, she’s been around for a while viewing applications etc and I’m not studying for the SATs again.
But of course I really appreciate your input and I realize that may be the downfall of my app :P</p>

<p>get a little more well rounded this year! because when admissions reads this, all theyre gunna see is some kid who spent his life getting ready to apply to an Ivy. they want real people who are going to enrich their school, not just sit in their library</p>
