<p>Are you a senior? If so, no college will look at an ACT in April or SAT in May. Colleges release their admission decisions then, so I don’t know what to tell you.</p>
<p>I’m a junior…</p>
<p>I got an unexpected 780 on Bio E subject test and I would highly reccomend this guy’s videos:[SAT2</a> Biology… Lecture1 full version - YouTube](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube)
Sparknotes were also helpful. Ecology has a worse curve but I found the concepts easier. Best of luck to you!

<p><em>just to clarify this is a friend of mine and i’m only chancing him because of that, I don’t usually do chances.</em></p>
<p>SO I know nothing about the ACT so I’ll do two sets of chances, one with your current SAT and one with your projected 2100.</p>
<p>WITH AN 1800:
Boston University: Match CUNY-City College: I know nothing about it but I assume safety Fordham: Match GWU: Match Johns Hopkins: Reach Loyola Chicago: Match NYU: Low Reach Tufts: Reach UC Berk: Reach UCLA: High match??? I have no idea sorry UMich: You’re OOS so i’m gonna assume reach U of Minnesota: Match/Safety USC: Low Reach? I don’t really know but they sent me a mailer thing and their scores seemed high but you may have dat geographic minority UW Madison: Safety</p>
<p>WITH A 2100:
Boston University: Safety CUNY-City College: Safety Fordham: Safety GWU: Safety Johns Hopkins: Low Reach/High Match Loyola Chicago: Safety NYU: Match Tufts: Low Reach UC Berk: Since you’re OOS I’m gonna have to go with Reach still UCLA: Match UMich: Low Reach U of Minnesota: Safety USC: High Match/Low Reach UW Madison: Safety</p>
<p>I’m not even going to bother with Columbia and Brown because honestly who knows in that department. I say regardless of what your scores turn out to be you should apply there because if you never try you never know. :P</p>
<p>I think you have great ECs, just gun for those leadership roles (only if they’re meaningful…try for President/Equivalent if you can) and write the heck out of your essays because once you’re in the range that’s all you can do to stand out! And obviously keep doing well in your classes and you will be 100% fine. <3</p>
