<p>any information would be helpful</p>

<p>You are a senior? Can you retake your SAT2s?I think Brown is a BIG stretch.
Are you considering running in college? I would contact the coaches if you have comparable/decent times, because that could be a hook for you.
Why don’t you apply to St Olaf? You look like it would be a good fit, with the service stuff, and your scores are more competitive there…
I think you should retake your ACT and SAT2s, because a 31 puts you in a much better position, as do 700s, and you are SO CLOSE…</p>

<p>It’s interesting that you recommended St. Olaf because it is one of my schools on the fence right now. I’ll reconsider it.
I’m also thinking about BC as a more reasonable stretch school</p>

5

<p>I am a senior, and thanks for the response</p>

6

<p>I think everything is too low for Brown and Northwestern i dont know anything about the other schools </p>

<p>but your EC’s look great!!</p>

7

<p>BC is probably more reasonable for you than Brown.
Why didn’t you like St Olaf?Under-rated, but really supportive, has that helping others vibe, nice people, nice campus, great profs and study abroad-have you visited? I dragged my S out there and now it’s his 3rd choice…He hates the name, tho.
BU is fun if you like Boston and are independent, I think BC has a more supportive environment.
I take it U of M is your safety.</p>

<p>BU is a match. Great school, my D loves it there.</p>

<p>Brown= BIG reach
BU= Match</p>

<p>Chance back?</p>

<p>I’ve visited St. Olaf a couple times. My main problem is the town. I’ve spent a few days there and as far as it goes there was very little to do. It’s on the top of a hill and gets pretty cold, also some rough walks.
my biggest problem with st. olaf is that I’d prefer carleton over it and if I couldn’t go to Carleton I wouldn’t want the constant reminder of my failure visible every day.
(you can see carleton from st. olaf(I think))</p>

<p>Brown and even Northwestern are a big stretch, do you still have time to improve on your ACT or SATII’s?</p>

12

<p>not really,
I don’t really care about them too much anyways.
do I have a chance at BC?</p>

13

<p>Don’t know too much about BC, but the middle 50% for ACT is 28-32 and you should be at least competitive if not a match.</p>

<p>that’s good</p>
