<p>Everything looks good, but as a native English-speaker, you really should get that CR score over the 700 threshold. Also, your ECs and awards are not that great for the schools looking for something unique and spectacular, so I’d say the American colleges on your list would be reaches for you if you improve your SAT scores.</p>

<p>What’s your backup plan? These four schools are reaches, even Cambridge with A*s on A-levels.</p>
