<p>You have great grades and solid EC’s, though I’d recommend you to bump up your SAT score by at least 100 points to be competitive for your reach schools.</p>

<p>thanks. quick questions…do college really consider ur unusual circumstances( parent not speaking english/no education) when they look at your application? </p>

<p>how much do essays factor into the admission process?</p>

<p>they consider it but it won’t make a heavy impact on your admissions decision</p>

<p>I think your schools are too reachy. Even with 100 extra points on the SAT those are all a tough go. I think you need to add a bunch of places such as Emory, Michigan, Vanderbilt, and others. Right now you risk ending up at your safeties.</p>
