<p>If your SAT/ACTs are better, than you would have a better chance. But for now...</p>

<p>UPenn (ED?) - reach/crapshoot. its ivy.
Duke- low reach/reach
Georgetown-not sure =P
NYU-match
UVA-match/low reach
UChicago- low reach
UF- dunno
Boston College-match</p>

<p>add some more for sure safeties on there (unless UF is a safety..no idea@.@). its best to get a almost 100% safety.</p>

<p>Well you are hispanic...</p>

<p>ok, well i know my SAT and ACT scores aren't that high, but what do you think i should aim for on the test in order to stand a fair chance.
Would a 2100 and 32 be sufficient for me to stand a chance, or should i try for higher?</p>

<p>UPenn (ED?) - Reach (ECs/SAT bringing you down)
Duke - Reach
Georgetown - In
NYU - In
UVA - In
UChicago - this school puts a lot of weight on essay, but i would say In
UF - In with scholarship (Safety)
Boston College - In</p>

<p>thanks for the chances</p>

<p>any other ones?</p>

<p>Don't listen to these people. A 32 is good enough for Penn, and they see your academics are rig. Look, they are only letting you down because they are jealous and don't want to see you succeed. </p>

<p>Don't let them get into your head.</p>
