<p>Good ECs, maybe consider starting a club having to do with the majors that interest you. Your ACT is too low, for a couple schools on your list, you’ll need a minimum of 33. Also, take SAT 2s, biology and chemistry.
I’ll chance assuming that you get a 32 on your ACT.
BU: low reach
Brown: reach
Carnegie Mellon: high match bc legacy
Cornell: low reach
UMA: high match
Princeton: reach

<p>Princeton was the only school who wants 2 subject tests so I’m not taking anymore, cornell and lehigh don’t want them, I’m applying to the agriculture and life sciences college at cornell</p>

<p>What’s your unweighted GPA? That’s the score that colleges really care about- they have their own weighting scales.</p>

<p>Unless you greatly improve your test scores (including your SAT II results), some of these colleges are probably out of reach. I don’t think Princeton is at all realistic unless you have some really big hook that you’ve left unstated.</p>

<p>Amherst, Brown and Cornell might be high reaches, but you will be competing again thousands of candidates who are more academically qualified than you.</p>

<p>My unweighted is also a 4.0 (94) based on college boards conversion chart. I also plan on auditioning for a music scholarship with the oboe. My parents want me to just send in an application to princeton because of its reputation, but i’d chose lehigh or cornell over it any day</p>
