<p>Hey guys, so I am a Junior and Im gonna start applying for colleges next fall. I would like you to chance me for all Ivy leagues, especially Wharton ED (my dream school) and Harvard. I would also like you to chance me for Stanford and UVA, UC Berkley. I want to major in economics at the Ivy’s, and business at Wharton. I am from Central America and I attend one of the best schools of the nation. I will list the scores I have gotten so far, and the ones I expect to get.</p>

- First try: 1890 (M:620, R: 610, W:660)
- Second try: 2150 (M: 770, R: 680, W: 700)
I know my first time sucks, but I was really nervous. Will that affect my application? Also, such a high score like the one I got in the second time I pretty rare at my school. Kids with 2200 have gotten accepted to Princeton. Last year, a kid with 2190 was accepted to UPenn RD, and this year a kid with 2130 was accepted to Brown ED. Should I retake the SAT? I know that perhaps I could raise my score to 2250, with R: 730, W: 750.</p>

<p>Who knows, my brother was as boring as could be with very little extracurriculars and still managed to get into Harvard with a 2020 SAT and 28 ACT… On the other hand, my sister got denied from every school she applied to (eventually enrolled in community college and transferred to Binghamton) and she had tons of extracurriculars in music, sports, volunteer work, and employment, along with a 2280 SAT and 35 ACT. It was her criminal record that got her, I think. Well who knows, the best you can do is pray a little and hope for the best.</p>

<p>I think being from central America can make you an interesting candidate. The thing here though is that your profile presents a picture of a very privileged kid from an undoubtedly very poor country. I’d play down the affluence and present as much as you can as a typical kid from your country.</p>

<p>I think your URM status + business/econ related ECs makes you a pretty strong candidate</p>
