<p>Retake the SAT or take the ACT. The SAT is too low for decent chances at Princeton, Columbia, Vanderbilt, WUSTL. 2100+ puts you into possible range at WUSTL/Vanderbilt (32+ ACT). 2200+ puts you into possible range at Princeton and Columbia (33+ ACT). GPA should be decent/fine if it’s unweighted. Grabbing another SATII you feel you can do very well doesn’t hurt either.</p>

<p>As for other schools, it’s impossible to give you recommendations without knowing what you’re interested in or looking for.</p>

3

<p>Yes, it is unweighted. As to what I’m wishing to look for in a college, I’m going to be going for a major in political science and a minor in business or accounting. Then I’ll go onto law school</p>

5

<p>Princeton (SCEA)- super high reach (almost no chance with your SAT score + pretty generic ECs)
Columbia- see princeton
Vanderbilt- high reach because of low SAT
Wash U. St. Louis- see vandy
Ohio State University- match/safety (you should be in)
Miami University - Oxford- same as OSU</p>
