<p>Recommendations:
My College Counselor, knows me well, Hamilton Alumni
English teacher, knows me well Hamilton & Columbia Alumni
My school's principal, who also knows we well.
Physics teacher at my school.
I can also get a recommendation from an English literature teacher at Buckswood UK, I'm wondering if more recommendations mean more chances.</p>

<p>Intended Major: Computer Science/Mathematics</p>

<p>Colleges:</p>

<p>Colby College
Amherst College
Williams College
Stanford
Grinnell College
Hamilton College</p>

<p>I'm not daring to ask about more Ivy Leagues, but do i have any chances there if i get above 2000 on SAT on 2nd take, also can you recommend me some colleges, where I will have pretty good chances. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Macalester
Maybe even Swarthmore and Haverford?
All top LACs</p>

<p>Macalester is cool, so is Swarthmore and Haverford. I’ll consider them, thanks. Any other ideas?</p>

<p>anyone chance me please</p>

<p>Southerners and males are a hook at many LACs. I think you’re competitive just about everywhere but Stanford and maybe even there, if you can get your board scores up. You may want to throw in Northwestern for journalism.</p>

6

<p>I want to study Computer Science, that is why :s but i think journalism experience will be nice as well cause it included maintaining show’s website and things like that too.</p>

<p>You should take a look at Middlebury as they have an option to mix and match the test scores - it is their form of being SAT optional. I believe Bates is also test optional. As you seem to already know -youneed to get that CR score up for the schools that require SAT/ACT. The top schools really want to see 7’s ( or very close to the 700 mark) on sections of the SAT.</p>

<p>yeah i will try to get the CR score up, i almost never got it so low when I wrote practice tests, I usually got around 600 or even 650</p>
