<p>lmao, no one’s answered mine either. anyway, although i’m not an expert at this, i do know a lot of people who’ve went to the schools you’re applying to. i’d say most of your stats are good, except for the SATs and ACTs. they’re not terrible, they’re just on the low side for these schools, especially stanford. i’d say if you can get your SAT up to 2200, preferably 2250+ for stanford, then you’d have a good shot at these schools. your writing is good, but just focus on the math and reading. for ACT, try to get it up to at least 33, with a big improvement on science.
overall, i think you do have a good shot at these schools as long as you can improve your test scores.</p>
<p>return the favor? lol i’m also asking for chances right now. my post is probably still on the first page.</p>
<p>Your scores are a bit low for top schools. You may consider other schools within the top 50s.</p>
<p>Like you said, your sats and acts need a little work, but with those up some they should be good. Your subject tests are good, but nothing amazing, as are your ecs. Your academics are your best area. Unfortunately, at a school like Stanford, without a hook, amazing ecs, or perfect standardized testing, pickings are slim. I’d say Stanford would be a reach no matter what happens with your scores (unless you get perfect, then maybe low reach). As for the others, if you can get your scores up, I’d say uc Berkeley and Washington at St. Louis would be high match/low reach and UPenn would be low reach/reach. Good luck :)</p>
