<p>These are the school I'm thinking about applying to:</p>

<p>Harvard
Cornell
Williams
UC Berkley
Yale
BU
Purdue
Northeastern
NYU
John Hopkins
UPenn</p>

<p>Please chance me! I'll chance back!</p>

<p>Oh I’m also fluent in French, English, Turkish, and Spanish. Fully fluent.</p>

<p>Come on people! I need some input!</p>

<p>All ivy leagues are high reaches
purdue is safety
JHU is reach
Berkley is match
Williams is match
Cornell is reach</p>

<p>You need higher SAT. Try for 2400, i know its hard, but think about how you’re people suffered in the middle east. Your ordeal is nothing compared to theirs. Good luck.</p>

<p>Must get a perfect score for the people in my country?
Amen I guess?</p>

<p>Your resume is extremely impressive. If I could I would bet that you will get into Harvard…almost easily with your EC’s. Other poster is right, increase SAT since you can.
