<p>I would imagine you’re the typical candidate they tend to accept at all of those schools.</p>

3

<p>Do you have SAT IIs? If you haven’t taken them, be sure to do so ASAP since several schools on your list require them.</p>

<p>It’s hard to say Harvard or MIT wouldn’t be reaches for anyone.
Columbia - Match/High Match
UChicago - Match
Northwestern - Match
NYU - Match
OSU - Match</p>

4

<p>I must have forgotten, i have taken 3 SAT IIs</p>

<p>US History 790
Math II 800
Chemistry 780</p>

5

<p>You have an excellent shot at all of those schools. I’d say a 80% chance at MIT, and 50% at Harvard.</p>

<p>Would it hurt to retake the ACT with a little more prep? 2250 doesn’t exactly correlate to 32.</p>

</p>

<p>Certainly not at Harvard where the average unhooked candidate has SAT scores at least 100 points higher.</p>

<p>You’re looking great, only thing is SAT/ACT which could be a little higher.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yea i agree. I will be retaking the tests the next opportunity i get but if i dont get any better scores, i may just end up sending my SAT score.</p>

<p>SAT and ACT scores are a bit low, but your GPA and rank can’t get much higher. Emphasize your passion and I’m sure that you will do great.</p>
