<p>The community service is quite good. Pull up your SATs if you have the time, because you never know…</p>

<p>Everything looks good except your SAT, it’s low for UPenn and Carnegie. But i think if you can get it to 2250+, you’d have a solid shot at those schools!</p>

<p>Alright, thanks! I’m taking the SATs in October. ACT in September and subject tests in November. Hopefully they can go up!</p>

<ol>
<li>USC Marshall - Match</li>
<li>Georgetown McDonough (EA) - Reach</li>
<li>Carnegie Mellon Tepper - Reach</li>
<li>Upenn Wharton - Impossible</li>
<li>Penn State - Safety</li>
<li>Florida State - Safety</li>
<li>Wake FOREST- Match</li>

<li>WashU - Impossible</li>
</ol>

<p>Okay, thank you!</p>

<p>Penn U and Wash U would be very, very difficult but it’s definitely worth applying. Georgetown may be a bit of a reach but you have a very good chance at the rest of the schools with your SAT. You might want to raise your SAT if you really want to get into some of the reach schools. </p>

<p>Chance back?

<ol>
<li>USC Marshall - Match</li>
<li>Georgetown McDonough (EA) - Reach</li>
<li>Carnegie Mellon Tepper - Reach</li>
<li>Upenn Wharton - Impossible -> SAT 2200+ -> Reach</li>
<li>Penn State - Safety</li>
<li>Florida State - Safety</li>
<li>Wake FOREST- Match</li>
<li>Ohio State - Safety</li>
<li>San Diego State - Safety</li>
<li>WashU - High Reach -> SAT 2200+ -> Low Reach</li>

<p>Personally I think WashU will be High Reach, not definitely impossible…but yeah, try improving your SAT score. :slight_smile: good luck</p>
