<p>I know my standardized test scores are mediocre compared to the average applicants to these universities (around the 20-40 percentile), but can my GPA make up for it? My LORs will be pretty nice, as I'm confident that the two teachers I got to write my letters (social studies and biology) wrote really nice letters. I also have some nice hooks with a whole LOT of ECs and community service. So now that you know all this about me, what do you think? </p>

<p>I beg you- please look beyond my standardized test scores when chancing me </p>

<p>Thank you for your time I greatly appreciate it- WILL CHANCE BACK!</p>

<p>bump!!!</p>

<p>bumpppppppppppppppppppppppp</p>

<p>Vandebilt, Duke, Rice, Brown and Columbia do not have undergrad business. An economics major is not the same as a business degree. </p>

<p>Your stats would make all of these schools, except for UF, reaches.</p>

5

<p>did you see my ECs? or are you only just looking at my test scores…</p>

6

<p>bumpppppppp</p>

7

<p>At top schools, most applicants have amazing EC’s. I do not see leadership in your EC’s. Many top schools look for that.</p>

<p>I think you could have a good-medium chance at all your colleges as long as you’re essays are excellent haha. I also got a 2010 (one sitting though) but am hoping for a higher score when I retake. Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1431373-chance-top-schools.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1431373-chance-top-schools.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thanks for the chance- bump</p>

<p>I think apart from the Ivy leagues your biggest reach would have to be Duke then everything else gets better from there on out with UVA being almost a match. I don’t think your courseload or test scores will get you into an Ivy though.</p>

<p>chance me back bud!</p>

<li>Vanderbilt - mid reach</li>
<li>Virginia - In</li>
<li>Duke - low-reach</li>
<li>Washington U St. Louis - low-mid reach</li>
<li>Rice University - high match</li>

<p>I am looking at all your stats. Your volunteer experience is impressive but Ec’s don’t show any leadership.
your GPA is really good, but like you said SAT might be a bit low.</p>

<p>Chance me back! </p>
