<p>Weak test scores and generic ECs do not go well with an unhooked ORM candidate. Brown will be a major reach. The same applies to Dartmouth, while your other schools are a little easier.</p>

<p>Ahh yeah >< I’m worried about that…
but I don’t think I’m going to give up on Brown yet… I’m just not sure whether ED will help or hurt me (it is my top choice)</p>

<p>thank you!</p>

<p>you’re shooting at the stars… the ivies are SATs whores and your SATs aren’t good enough for any of the top privates. you do have a strong chance at UCLA though because of your very high GPA. The UCs love students with very high GPA. you’re even a strong candidate for Berkeley despite your not so impressive SATs.</p>
