<p>THANKS!!!</p>

<p>I see stellar grades, high class rank, strong EC's and leadership, decent scores, and a rigorous courseload, all of which are good signs in the college admissions process.</p>

<p>Your SAT score is going to have to improve for a shot at the highest tier of colleges (i.e. HYPSM), and even with perfect scores, those schools will be a crapshoot for anyone.</p>

<p>With that said, I think you've got a good chance at your other schools.</p>

<p>JHU - Match, assuming you aren't applying for that highly competitive engineering program thing (the name escapes me at the moment)..</p>

<p>WUStL - Match/Low Reach, but they've been known for weird admission sometimes.</p>

<p>Elon - I'm not very familiar with this school, but from what I know, I'd call it a low match. I'd be shocked if you didn't get in, but I'm hesitant to use the term "safety", if you know what I mean.</p>

<p>Wake Forest - Match, maybe a low match. Again, I'd expect that you would get in here and would be rather surprised to hear otherwise.</p>

<p>thanks =)
yeah, i need to up those sat scores.</p>

<p>Have you tried the ACT?</p>

<p>I recommend it to everyone, but it's a lot easier, IMO.</p>

<p>My SAT score was right around yours, but I managed a 34 ACT, and I'm betting you could do the same. One of my friends had a ~2000 SAT and got a 33. The ACT is good for a different type of person.</p>

<p>I would think Elon is an easier admit than Wake Forest.</p>

<p>Your stats and EC's would make you an excellent candidate for a number of quality LACs. Have you thought about that? At a very good school like Dickinson, for example, you would be a strong candidate for merit money. </p>

<p>You might be able to narrow your list by interests, e.g. math vs. foreign languages, etc.</p>

<p>^ I don't know if you were expressing disagreement with me, Ford, but I did call Elon a low match or possible safety, and WF a match. Elon is definitely easier to get into, but I think the OP will have no problem getting into either school.</p>
