<p>UCB might be a reach that would be too far out, even if you retake the SAT’s. Also, where are your SAT II scores? Those are REQUIREMENTS at Berkely, NYU, McGill and Weselley. However, you show great potential. If you make national merit your “board” should look like this:</p>

<p>Reach: 1.Berkely (High reach for anyone)
2.NYU (Easily could be a match; I think you have a good shot)</p>

<p>Match: 1.NYU
2.McGill</p>

<p>Safety: 1.Arizona</p>

<p>I’m taking the SAT IIs on the 5th. My practice tests are in the 650s to 700s so far. Thanks for the input!</p>
