psat 10th grade, not 11th (i had a xc race)</p>

<p>Dude, I’m Persian too!
I think that Cornell is a reach simply because of your GPA and test scores. I believe that UCLA is a high match, and all of the other schools will be matches if not easy get-ins</p>

<p>i also tutored kids in chem while i was in ap (for $$$)</p>

<p>I’d say UCLA and Cornell are your only high reaches. Your SAT needs to be raised significantly if you want a competitive chance at those schools. But, you are persian, so who know…(you would probably add to the diversity of the class. Thus, they may want you for that reason alone).
Chance me back? </p>

<p>cmon ppl. bump</p>

<p>Cornell is probably a pretty high reach, LA is slightly lower and everything else is a low reach or high match.</p>

<p>bumppppppppppppppppp</p>

<p>Pretty much agree with others here. Your GPA is a little low, and so are your test scores, for a school like Cornell, particularly for their engineering school which is more selective than the general college.</p>

<p>The other schools you listed seem to be in your sights though. You’ve definitely got a good profile relative to your SAT score- meaning, if you apply to a school that has an average score around 1850, you have a very good chance of getting in.</p>

<p>I am an east coaster so I am unfamiliar with the UC schools. However you seem to be a good enough prospect for Penn State. Good luck!</p>

<p>If the SAT is not working for you, go with the ACT. Raise your SAT II’s to about 750+. Best of luck. Chance me back?</p>
