<p>I think duke might be a slight reach but mich should be good/match. Vanderbilt - I’m not too sure about since I’m not actually familair with teh college itself. I’m kinda in the same situation as you with a low sat score but with awesome EC’s :] Make sure your essays and recs are REALY good and you should be fine! You’ve obviously taken a bunch of AP classes and scored pretty well so that’s really good. Also, make sure your application is geared towards your interest in science a lot (if that’s what you want to do cause it seems like it)! I wish you way more than luck!!!</p>

<p>Chance me back please? Appreciate it :]</p>

<p>Can you also chance me for Emory, USC, Brown, GA tech.</p>

<p>Brown and Duke extremely far, if not impossible reaches.
Emory, Vanderbilt, USC and -reaches
GA Tech or Mich-match</p>

<p>Your EC’s are good but there are so many that an admissions officier can’t really tell anything about you. You seem like a serial joiner, you just joined a bunch of things to put them on your resume. Even if this is not true this is what it looks like to an adcom. </p>

<p>The thing that will help you the most is your class rigor, not your EC’s.
Your test score is a little low for most of these schools, as well as your subject test scores.
Your GPA is pretty average, at many of your choices, it won’t hurt you but it won’t make you stand out either.</p>

<p>haha stewta4, the serial joiner is funny. It’s not true, but I do understand what you’re saying. Duke has always been my dream school, so hopefully admissions officers see something in me.</p>

<p>if your essays and recs are special nothing is impossible.</p>
