<p>buuuump pls!</p>

<p>Your SAT2 scores are also rather low for top school.</p>

43

<p>Okay, but if I raise them to 750+, what do you think?</p>

44

<p>For Ivy caliber schools, aim for 90+% for SAT2 which would be 750 or higher depending on subjects. For other top schools, aim for 75+% which would be 700 or higher depending on subjects. That is only for the schools that require SAT2.</p>

<p>Wonderful! Thanks so much! :)</p>

46

<p>bump please! xo</p>

47

<p>bump please!</p>

<p>Your SAT IIs are really low as they stand. Raising them all to 750+ is definitely going to help your chances.
ECs are awesome, but ultimately, I’m not sure whether colleges will consider them enough to make up for your GPA.</p>

<p>Miami- Safety
Wake Forest- Match
UNC- Match
Emory- High match/low reach
Cornell, Vanderbilt- Low reach
WashU, JHU- Reach
Harvard- High reach</p>

<p>I’ve heard that Harvard has started moving away from accepting legacies (just a warning!)</p>

<p>I pretty much agree with most of the posts about your reaches and matches. </p>

<p>ECs are great! Your GPA should’ve been higher but some colleges might be willing to overlook that due to your ECs. Does your GPA have an upward trend? If so, that could help you as well.</p>

51

<p>Thank you!! And GPA so far does not have an upward trend – it’s been steady all three years. Would it help if I got straight A’s all of first quarter/semester this year?</p>

<p>Legacy hill come in huge at harvard. What is your class rank? </p>

<p>Your ECs are good but you don’t really have one specific trend, and you only have room for 10 on the common app. </p>

<p>Vandy- low reach
Harvard- low reach
UNCCH-match
Emory- high match
Cornell - low reach
JHU- high match
Wash U- match</p>

<p>Your GPA normally would be a killer, but your extra-curriculars are strong are your ACT is also fairly strong. Apply Harvard SCEA…it will help especially if you are legacy. Your triple legacy will speak volumes. That being said, it is still a reach so work on those essays.</p>

<p>Vandy- High reach…I say this because Vandy plays a lot to GPA.
UNC Chapel Hill - Match
Emory- high match/ low reach
Cornell -reach
JHU- High reach
Wash U- reach </p>
