<p>Okay, so your SATs may not be up to par for some of these colleges (Columbia, Cornell, MIT)… if you can, take them again- either I’s or both II’s. Pretty sure you can for Columbia, but not sure for Cornell or MIT. Don’t know much about the other colleges…
Anyway, you MIGHT still have a shot at the ivies on your list + MIT if your essays etc. are stellar, since you come from a pretty interesting background.</p>

<p>My Guidance Counselor told me I might get in under HEOP/NOP because they take students who are Minority Students, With Low incomes, and who are deemed inadmissible to the college through RD (after they reject me they send me to the HEOP/NOP office to be reevaluated)</p>

<p>is he deceiving me?</p>
