<p>Notable: Throughout school I have had a speech impediment and have really battled it throughout high school. It has shaped who I am as an individual and I would really like to showcase this to a school like Brown which likes odd characters. I am also a liberal living in a very conservative community where I often get alot of flak, and feel very comfortable voicing my opinion.</p>

<p>I am applying to Brown, Tufts, Columbia, University of Michigan, Wash U, Cornell, and NYU</p>

<p>definitely in for tufts, nyu, and michigan</p>

<p>columbia will be difficult, cornell a bit less</p>

<p>I think if you retake your SAT and score above 2200 that would help your chances.
Columbia and Cornell seem like reaches, but Michigan seems like a good match. Does your school give class rank?</p>

<p>Just be careful if you're applying for Stern in NYU because its standards at accepting student are higher then average.</p>

<p>Chance me too:

<p>Does your GPA put you close to the top of your class?</p>

<p>I would add a safety although Michigan is a match, you're OOS and you never know.</p>

<p>I'd work on raising the SATs. You will need to put an interesting/intelligent twist on your essay topics to pull them off, they are pretty common.</p>

<p>study for the other sat subjects so you get mid 700's or higher. you'll probably be fine seeing your history score. write an essay about your speech impediment. i think it could highlight how you've been able to succeed regardless of obstacles that stood in your way. i think you have a decent shot at all of the schools. a bit chancy though, you will definitely want to add at least one more safety.</p>

<p>Thanks guys. My school doesn't rank but I've made high honor roll along with like 25 other people every quarter. So i would say that's probably our class's top 5%. I'm also applying to safeties such as Tulane, Brandeis, and BU.</p>
