<p>Your SAT is pretty solid. I know many people that got into Ivies with lower scores. The only thing that could hurt you in that aspect is your CR score but thats not too hard to bring up if you practice. Also don’t forget to take the subject tests if you haven’t already. I applied to Princeton and I know they require two of them. In addition try to write an essay for each school that will make you stand out from other applicants. The essay is key to showing the college who you are. Good luck!</p>
