<p>one more thing, I got a 3 on the world history ap, a 5 on the US history ap, and a 4 on the environmental science ap</p>

5

<p>Honestly I would have to say they are mostly reaches. I think you could get into Bucknell or Lafayette early decision. Give them a visit, good luck.</p>

6

<p>@Alden97‌ sorry but be a little less harsh, TCU is most definitely not a reach for me</p>

7

<p>The only two I know about are Colgate and Hamilton, which I would say are matches. Colgate is not need-blind, and thus I have read that they look favorably upon people who can pay full tuition, so that may raise your chances a little.</p>

8

<p>If you improved your reading and writing SAT scores a bit you would be within the Ivy range. Why not retake and then try?</p>

<p>If you live in Houston, why is Rice not on your list?</p>

9

<p>Rice is not on my list because I live in Houston, I do not want to go to school less than a mile from my house @sgopal2‌ </p>

<p>I didn’t say it was… I said most are reaches, which they are. I only mentioned Bucknell and Lafayette because I have a very favorable impression on them from my visits. I’m sure you could get into Occidental, TCU, Sewanee, and a couple others.</p>
