<p>you have it under hooks, or is that just your formatting? Oh ok. I got it now. Ehh, I would say reach for all. I have about the same stats except I only got a 700 and 750 for my subject tests and I am a URM. Maybe we will see each other at Georgetown or JHU :)</p>

<p>Yeah, sorry, I see where you could have thought that. Perhaps! :)</p>

<p>Why dentistry? If you explain this very well it will be nice.</p>

<p>I’m not very familiar with Superior Cognitive Ability and Midwest Academic Talent Search so if those are really competitive competition awards then that would definitely increase your chances. Your rank is a little low but that could be indicative of a competitive school rather than a weak high school course load.
I’d say that you’re definitely in NYU. Georgetown and JHU should be a shoo in as well as long as your essay isn’t horrific. Cornell might be a little tricky but I think you could do it. Columbia’s gonna be a reach just because its Columbia. Make sure that all of your essays ,recommendations, and extracurriculars work together to convey your passion for music.</p>
