<p>Depending on your essay I would say that none of them are totally out of reach (Though your SAT scores look more like those of a Math/Science major) but most of them are mid to high reach.</p>

3

<p>thank you for ur response :)</p>

<p>yeah i agree with u on having low sat score
so im just sending my act scores will that help?</p>

4

<p>not really imo.</p>

<p>yeah i agree with u on having low sat score

<p>I agree with UTPG1234, that doesn’t give you much of a boost.</p>

<p>Your EC’s are terrific, as well as your GPA. I think most of the ivies on your list will be reaches just like they are for most everyone. Your SAT II scores are solid. I think your best chances will come from Duke, JHU, UChicago, and UTexas (safety) but by all means give some ivies a shot. You just might get into one of them. Your EC’s really stand out, imo. Good luck!</p>

<p>A lot depends on how much you like your safety because everything else seems like a low reach or a high reach. Maybe it’s worth adding a northeastern LAC that’s not in the top 5 (maybe Colgate or Colby??) and some place like Emory or Rice. Note: people who like Dartmouth often like Middlebury and there you could submit 3 SAT II scores INSTEAD OF the SAT I. You SAT II’s are more impressive.</p>
