All input is appreciated.</p>

<p>I'm also considered First Generation.
My recommendations should also all be pretty good.
And my essays range from good to great.</p>

<p>The thing that worries me are my SAT Subject scores. I'm not retaking because I just don't have the time to properly study for them and then submit them. So, are these going to kill my chances?</p>

<p>I know Columbia's a huge reach anyways though. Hopefully the others aren't!</p>

<p>Chicago is a reach, Columbia is a long reach, the rest are high match IMO.</p>

<p>Good GPA, rank, course rigor, and ACT. SAT 2s might hurt you at schools that require them. Good volunteer work! ECs don’t jump off the page, but I see a bit of a trend with theatre, band, One Act, and speech team. Good luck :)</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon-High match
NYU-High match
Swarthmore
Macalester-sorry, i’m unfamiliar
Chicago-mid reach
Columbia-high reach</p>
