<p>ACT is much better than SAT, so I would say to just work on that one (you don’t need multiple scores from both). Columbia and Cornell are reaches, but you have really good grades so I think you have a pretty good shot at the others.</p>

<p>If possible try and get your GPA and Scores up but you do have a very strong courseload. You should be in most places or have a good shot at the others like Wash U, Cornell, and Columbia.</p>

<p>I chanced back the two of you who posted links in your replies. Thanks.</p>

<p>I am hoping to get a 2200+ on the SAT…but I also suddenly got a craving for a 35/36 ACT. I’m not sure if I can handle both haha. I’m thinking the super high ACT will make up for a lower SAT, but I need at least 2150 to be eligible for National Merit Finalist :(</p>

<p>This is another bump.</p>

<p>and another bump</p>

<p>and another bump.</p>

<p>you definitely need to boost your sat scores and extracurriculars. perhaps devote your summer to this?</p>

<p>Rice: low reach
Vanderbilt: low reach
Washington U: high reach
Northwestern: high reach
Carnegie Mellon: mid reach
USC: match
Cornell: mid reach
Columbia: high reach</p>

<p>I would definitely submit ACT score, unless you can break into the 2200’s on the SAT. </p>

<p>Rice - high match
Vanderbilt - low reach
Washington U - reach
Northwestern - high match
Carnegie Mellon - match
USC - match
Cornell - low reach
Columbia - reach</p>

<p>Ivies are pretty much reaches for everyone.</p>

<p>Chance back?</p>

<p>i would agree with luke23 except Columbia i would say high reach. your ec’s academics are very very good, but ivies (as we all know) are looking for some over the top, surreal amazing academic/social excellence. so keep it up, and if you can find/exploit/own your niche (maybe music?) and convey it in the application, you can make those high reaches/high matches ----> reaches/matches
chance back?

<p>well you definitely couldnt get into harvard but all the schools you listed look like very good matches so you should get into AT LEAST half of them but probably more, the key for those top schools is the essays and recs so spend lots of time on those but youre probably good</p>

<p>chance me back at <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/735932-chance-me-i-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/735932-chance-me-i-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your GPA/SAT scores are only average, with your SAT scores definitely being a bit on the low side…your ECs are good but nothing really jumps out. Do you have a passion? Something you’ve earned state/local/ntnl awards in, etc? Anyways, here are my predictions…</p>

<p>Rice - low reach
Vanderbilt - low reach
Washington U - reach
Northwestern - mid reach
Carnegie Mellon - reach
USC - in
Cornell - low reach
Columbia - reach</p>

<p>chance me back if you have time? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/736548-chance-me-top-schools-ivies.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/736548-chance-me-top-schools-ivies.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
