<p>Assuming I plan on applying ED (I also will not need FA) -rate my chances at each school.

<p>not good at cornell</p>

<p>Thats what I figured, I guess ill try and raise my SAT score next time I take it.
What about the others?</p>

<p>Will the fact my dad is a contributing alumnus at Carleton help?</p>

<p>Cornel: Slight Reach/Match (The SATs)</p>

<p>I would say Holy Cross would be a good safe/match. If you raised your SATs some more, I would think you would have a good shot ED at cornell.</p>
