<p>sat’s are low for the ivies</p>

3

<p>I realize that IVies are probably a reach but my dream school is Johns Hopkins. I can probably raise my SAT to 2200 and ACTs to 34…</p>

4

<p>Yale = High reach (less than 5%); Duke, Penn, Vandy, Virginia OOS, Hopkins, Rice = reaches (less than 30%); UCB, Michigan = low reaches (50/50), UCLA, UNCH = matches (80/20), and ECU = safety (100%)</p>

<p>Bump up your SATs 50 points and you will become more competitive although it would not surprise me if you got accepted at one of your reaches.</p>

<p>For physics/astrophysics, do not overlook state schools like Illinois, Va Tech, NC State, and Maryland.</p>

5

<p>I think one thing going for me is my school rigor, I am completing 64+ college credits in high school time and yea I def need to study up SAT. What about a 34-35 ACT?? would that help?</p>

6

<p>High Reach: yale, u penn</p>

<p>for the rest of the schools, I’d say you are very competitive except for SAT. Get that up there! It be a shame to have gone through all that work, and be denied because of your SATs. Go to the library, get an SAT book, take a bunch of practice tests, listen to SAT audiobooks, get it? Do what you need to do to raise the SAT score, and I promise you, you will get into an Ivy league.</p>

<p>Thanks all that have given me advice. Please need some more as well.</p>

<p>I understand the fact that SATs are A really big deal but would a 34 on ACT would be sufficient to keep me from the negative balance at all these tops schools Im trying to achieve for?</p>

<p>Embellish your extracurriculars, make sure you have excellent essays and recs, and you should have as good a chance as anyone at the Ivies.
One note though, your extracurriculars seem to dabble in a bit of everything. Try to make sure you show that you have deep commitments, rather than a laundry list of activities. </p>
