-Improve your SAT
-Impressive GPA :slight_smile:
-EC’s look good!
-IVY is difficult
-Good luck!

Definitely getting into Rutgers, Stevens, NJIT, SUNY Stony Brook. Most likely would get into Boston U and Northeastern. I’d say Brown and Northwestern are reaches, but reachable considering your unique background. Princeton, Columbia, and UPENN are a reach for everyone; very hard to get into. But hey… you never know!

Try Taking SAT 2 Physics again after more studying. SAT score is good, but for the Ivys and northwestern it would help if you got that up a little, just because those schools are so competitive!

You seem to have a strong application, good luck!!!

thank you guys for the feedback :slight_smile:
