<p>Yeah they're all reaches, but whatever. Just tell me which ones you think I'll be accepted to. Thanks guys :)</p>
<p>Get you’re SAT to a ~2300 and you have a real shot at Columbia/Cornell/UChicago. Otherwise those chances are very slim. Better shot at USC/Rice/Tulane. Are you doing ED at Columbia?</p>
<p>Definitely your best bet is to improve your SAT score a bit. This would probably make USC/Rice relatively easy for you. To get in to Columbia/Chicago/Cornell you’d have to raise your SAT at least in to the 2100s , if not 2200 and beyond.
Improve your GPA if possible? If not, then make sure to kick ass on your essay, which you said you’re capable of. I don’t know about course rigor, which may hinder you if it isn’t up to snuff.
Good luck, chance me back?</p>
<p>Definitely want to get your SAT score up if you are looking at upper tier Ivies. A higher score would help your chances at the other schools too. If I were you, I’d try to get up your SAT score and then ED to cornell, they seem to have a pretty good acceptance percentage there ED.</p>
<p>Columbia, USC, Cornell, Rice, and U Chicago are all reaches.(you have a shot at USC and maybe Rice, the others are huge reaches)
Tulane and GIT are matches.
Texas is a low match.
TAMU is a safety.</p>
<p>I see. So you think I’d be denied from Columbia, Cornell, and Chicago. I guess I’d understand. Does anyone feel I’d be rejected from all but TAMU? Y’all can be honest</p>
