<p>I'll glady provide any other information :D</p>

<p>decided to take Northeastern and Yale off the list and add Lehigh.</p>

<p>Your ECs are great coupled with your high SAT II scores. If you do as good on the SAT as you say you will, I’d say that most of these are match schools! Princeton is still a reach though as it is for most people. Good luck :]</p>

<p>Chance back!

<p>Even ED, your SAT and GPA/rank are a bit low for Columbia. If you get deferred, I’d seriously consider rehauling your list–aka, fewer super reaches.</p>

<p>I’d say you have as solid of a chance at the top schools as anyone else. Everything looks solid, but nothing is GREAT.</p>

<p>Chance me back please?

<p>hmm i think you definitely are in at Boston U, Northeastern. I think NYU is a good match and you are probably in. As far as the ivy’s they are always a stretch! Also, not sure about Swarthmore. Lehigh I think is a slight reach but I think you could get in. but then again what do i know! haha. </p>

<p>chance me back please?!?!?!?!</p>

<p>1820 SAT Score isnt good for Yale, Princeton or UPenn or any other Ivy League school. I think your in regards to NYU and a match for Boston U and Northeastern.</p>

<p>Chance me back please?</p>

<p>I agre with Kris4College. Ivies are always a stretch, and you don’t have the highest ACT, even if you do score a 2100. You really should’ve taken the SAT again last year just in case something goes wrong in October. Your EC’s are pretty good so that’s definitely a boost.</p>

<p>about to chance everyone back who asked</p>

<p>the SAT is an issue but I could not take it last year due to timing issues, usually family emergency related</p>

<p>glasses- any suggestions? </p>

<p>also, ron, derp, did you read that I’m taking it again?</p>
