<p>I'm so sorry about the length! It's kind of excessive, but I'm new at this. I really appreciate the time you took to do this, and I'll chance you back if you want me to. Just let me know! I'll do my best. Thanks again :)</p>

<p>Well, you certainly have a chance at those schools. But one thing you need to remember is that there is no ‘guarantee’ for entry into most of those schools. </p>

<p>I know you came here looking for assurance, but I have no solid answers aside from this.</p>

<p>I can guarantee you’ll be accepted to at least one of those schools if you apply to all of them, if not two or three.</p>

<p>Your EC’s loo great, and I would recommend retaking the SAT</p>

<p>you seem like a smart person, just be careful not to make silly mistakes and you should quite easily get 2350+</p>

<p>on you actual app, dont list everything like you did here, just focus on a few major things</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the response! I was more just hoping to see if those schools are within reach for me, and feel out which I should focus the most on. I also was hoping to get some suggestions on other good options for me (particularly some safeties) and some opinions on my weaknesses. Either way, thank you so so much! Really appreciate it :)</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice! Sounds good. I’m waiting for my score report, since I never did so poorly on the math. Fingers crossed that it was just silly mistakes</p>
