<p>I would definitely suggest retaking some SAT II’s. Your scores, as they stand now, are slightly low for these top schools.</p>

3

<p>Yea, that’s the plan. I am pretty unhappy with how they turned out so I am hoping for higher scores in both math and french. Thanks for responding!</p>

4

<p>Your SAT score is also subpar for schools that disregard the Writing section.</p>

<p>WUSTL is the only one i know that doesnt count writing on her
list im sure quick research could tell you the rest
obivously your dad & family being involved at Standford will increase your chances greatly
you didnt list any major or area of study so that kind of limits the accuracy of chancing people can do but that said your EC’s look good nothing amazing, the research assistant thing looks impressive though
retake your SATs try to up math CR and subject tests
& not to sound condescending but only 5 classes a year in HS seems a tad strange… might look like you didnt have a rigorous cirruculum but maybe theyre 5 really hard classes at your fancy prep school
your surely get into atleast 2 of your top 5 schools though UPenn will be the hardest</p>

<p>

Which schools do this?</p>

7

<p>^ I don’t know of any compiled lists. You’ll want to check with each school.</p>

<p>@dorkoa: my school only allows us to take 5 classes per year…so technically i have taken the maximum. </p>

<p>my current major/area of interest is pre-med/child development psych-with a goal of being a pediatrician eventually… :)</p>

<p>thanks so much for the responses!</p>

<p>In at Davis and Boston University. For LA and Berkeley, you’re going to need higher reading and math scores, especially for pre-med. Your top 5 are high reaches.</p>
