<p>White female
Midwest</p>

<p>GPA (unweighted): 3.94
ACT: 34
SAT: 2050 (730 cr, 680 w, 640 m)(I retook it 5/3 and am hoping to have done better)</p>

<p>APs:
11: APUSH/ AP English
12: APEuro/AP English/AP Calc and possible AP Physics</p>

<p>EC's:
Tennis
Track
Campus Ministry
Theater
Speech
Ski Club
NHS
Youth Group</p>

<p>Volunteering:
~150 hours by graduation</p>

<p>I worked all through my junior year, about 10-20 hrs a week.</p>

<p>Schools I'm hoping for:
Williams College
Boston College
Dartmouth (my far, far, far, far reach)</p>

<p>(I also think I might apply to Harvard just for the heck of it).</p>

<p>Also, if anyone knows any schools on the east coast I could use as safeties, that would be great.</p>

<p>BC and Williams are probably slight reaches, and Dartmouth is definitely a big reach. I think that if you got a 2100 or better this time on your SATs, your chances at BC and Williams will be greater. </p>

<p>Hmm...well I don't really know what you want to major in, so I can't really tell you any specific schools. However, just by looking at your stats these schools might be safeties...
BU
UMass
URI
UConn
Rutgers
Northeastern</p>

<p>Yes, I'm hoping for at least a 2100 on the SAT this time around. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

4

<p>You have a great ACT score, so maybe you should just submit that.</p>

5

<p>northeastern aint no safety lol....but i think you have good chances anyways
:)</p>

<p>You'll have no problem – your great ACT makes up for your "only" good SAT, and your grades are fine, and ECs are good. I would say that BC is a fit, while Williams and Dartmouth are both reaches.
BU<em>–</em>low match/safety
URI<em>– safety
UConn –</em>safety (UConn Honors is a low match)
Rutgers – safety
Northeastern – low match</p>

<p>If my SAT score doesn't improve a lot on this go then I think I will do this. It would probably improve my chances. </p>

<p>I was planning on visiting/possibly applying to Northeastern and BU, so that's good. I'll have to look at the rest.</p>

<p>Again, thanks to everyone! This is really helpful!</p>

<p>Question: Would it hurt my chances to send in my SAT score along with the ACT, or would it not matter? Even if I get a higher SAT, should I leave it off unless it's over 2280 (my ACT equivalent)?</p>
