<p>Test scores are fairly low for the schools that you listed. I didn’t see any EC that stood out to me, except for “Volunteer at hospital.” However, how many hours per week do you do there? Per month? I hope you’re devoting your time to one or two EC that you can show your character to colleges.
Cornell-low reach
UPenn-low reach
All CA schools-reach and slight reach
Oklahoma-
Stanford-low reach
SDSU-
USC-slight reach</p>

<p>Chance me back?

<p>I think you need to be more realistic with yourself. Either pull up your SAT scores significantly or apply to <em>much</em> less selective schools.</p>

<p>damn cold blooded…
i know i can do better in the SAT, but dont base my chances on my SAT and overlook other stuff. ive seen students get into ucla with a 1640 before…</p>

<p>No, you haven’t!</p>

<p>THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT YOU WITH THOSE SAT SCORES!</p>

<p>You can pull your SAT grades up A LOT, if you study hard enough. I wasn’t trying to put you down. But I need to be honest with you. If those are the only schools you’re applying to, you will not get into any of them.</p>

<p>Pull your grades up and apply to less selective schools. Be realistic.</p>
