<p>P.S. forgot to mention, I am an international applicant, not in community college</p>
<p>Good afternoon, and happy holidays! I am beyond impressed by your chemistry achivements, work experience, and sports. Your SAT Reasoning scores are not as high as what most applicants to Princeton and Dartmouth have. Assuming that you didn’t go right from high school to college, you should be fine with Princeton. However, if you’re in a community college or something (which you didn’t mention), you won’t be able to apply to Princeton. I would say that you have great chances at all of these schools besides Dartmouth and Princeton, which are reaches for you (as they are for everybody). However, you’re a very strong candidate, and you will succeed wherever you end up.</p>
<p>you have a high chance for all of these schools except Princeton and Dartmouth which are definitely reaches because your test scores are pretty low for them. </p>
<p>your ECs are great and so is your schoolwork. maybe retake the SAT to improve your chances for the ivies?</p>
<p>everything besides that SAT writing section looks pretty solid. i have heard that the writing section carries the least weight when compared to the other two sections. maybe if you write some amazing essays that can offset your poor score. besides that your ec’s are amazing, subject tests are great, and gpa is impressive. i would recommend that you apply to the engineering/science programs of the schools you are interested so your high level in math in science can overshadow your poor writing and average reading skills.</p>
<p>i am no expert but this is my opinion:</p>
<p>princeton - reach
dartmouth - between reach and low match
williams - low match
rest - match</p>
<p>i would still apply to all of these schools. they are by no means outside of your capabilities and its worth the application fee just to be sure you wont be admitted.</p>
<p>Princeton- definite reach (retake SAT to become more competitive)
Amhert/Williams - probably in
dartmouth - reach (again, retake SAT)
sorry, don’t know anything about the others</p>
<p>One disadvantage is your SAT scores, which could improve a little in the writing area. Another is that you are an international applicant. It will be VERY VERY difficult for you to get a full ride to Dartmouth/Princeton.</p>
<p>I could suggest other schools if I knew which major you were looking at.
good luck!</p>
<p>dartmouth - low reach
williams - low match
amherst - match
princeton - reach (for everyone)
colgate - match
colby - match
st. lawrence - match
bates - match</p>
<p>also, im not sure how needing fa will affect your chances at some of the schools that aren’t need blind though.</p>
<p>ok…I agree that your SAT IIs are splendid but your SAT I could limit your chances at Princeton and Dartmouth. I would say that you’re in at most of the colleges you’re applying to, with the exception of Princeton. Dartmouth is somewhat of a reach, but with good recs and essays I think you still have a good chance. Nevertheless, you should consider retaking the SAT I…
Good Luck!</p>
<p>dartmouth- high match (for the SOLE reason of somewhat low SAT I)
williams- low match
amherst- match
princeton- reach (but then again, it is so for everybody)
colgate- match
colby- match
st. lawrence- match
bates- match</p>
<p>You are an excellent candidate for nearly all of the schools. The two biggest problems are your SAT Is which have already been mentioned many times, and the fact that you need a full ride. Ivies are not very keen on paying entire tuitions and being an international candidate will work somewhat against you. Good luck though!</p>
but you’re competitive
