<p>I would say that you’re definitely going to get into some good schools. I don’t know exactly which schools but some very respectable ones no doubt. I would take the SAT again and try to get your CR above 700. Usually ivies like all 700s or above. Your ECs are good and all that. Another thing to keep in mind is you want to get recs from teachers you made a connection with, not necessarily the teachers you performed the best in(although that helps too). </p>

<p>Princeton and CMU are high reaches, everything else is a low reach/match</p>

<p>Your biggest killer is going to be your race, lack of hooks, and lack of any outstanding ECs that set you apart. That GPA doesn’t look good for Princeton either. But everything else seems to be good for top colleges, now it’s more up to what they’re looking for than what you have.</p>

<p>JHU: Reach
Princeton: Reach
Columbia: Reach
CMU: Reach
NWU: Reach
Cornell: Reach
Rice: Reach</p>

<p>My personal suggestions are lower here:</p>

<p>Berkeley: High match
USC: High match
UMinn: Low match
UIUC: Match</p>
