<p>sorry if you might have read it before, but i thought i'd try again and hopefully someone will help me by replying</p>

<p>obviously harvard, mit, stanford, even duke/brown are hard for anyone...but id say you have at least a 25% shot at all of those...and your in easy at the cali schools and rice</p>

3

<p>wow thanks! any more responses pleez?</p>

4

<p>UCB: 90%
UCSD: 100%
UCLA:95%
Stanford: 25%
scea -what school is this
Caltech- 20%
mit- 20%
columbia-35%
brown- 15%
harvard- 15%
duke- 65%
rice- 85%</p>

5

<p>sorry bout that, scea=single choice early action</p>

6

<p>bumpity bump</p>

<p>I don't think duke is THAT easy to get in, and neither is brown that hard to get in. for her, MIT is harder than brown, for example, since her ECs aren't exactly science-inclined, and MIT is a science n engineering school.</p>

8

<p>Get the SATs up, and you'll have a good shot. I'm not going to elaborate, because none of my chances turn out to be true. You don't want the curse.</p>

<p>Lol a kid going to princeton didn't know SCEA. He also chanced you way too high for Rice and Duke. I'd say if you applied to all of those places I'd safely place you into 4-6, though it could be a lot more.</p>

<p>Also might want to have a true safety, because you never know, but I think UCSD will be good enough.</p>

<p>I'd say in at USCD, UCLA, UCB, and three of the others. However, that's looking rather favorably.</p>

10

<p>Ratings on a scale of: high reach, reach, semi-reach, good fit, likely, safety.</p>

<p>UCB... LIKELY.
UCSD... SAFETY.
UCLA... LIKELY.
Stanford... REACH.
Caltech... HIGH REACH.
MIT... HIGH REACH
Columbia... REACH.
Brown... REACH.
Harvard... HIGH REACH.
Duke... REACH.
Rice... SEMI-REACH.</p>

11

<p>What's your UW GPA?</p>

12

<p>she says no Bs throughout high school so 4.0</p>

13

<p>Berkeley/UCLA: match
UCSD: safe match
Stanford: reach
Rice: match</p>

14

<p>bump......</p>

15

<p>If you are applying to those schools, definitely retake the SAT.</p>

16

<p>You shouldn't take the SAT 1 again. Your current score is already 2210 which is high enough. Unless you can retake it and make less errors, it's hardly worth the time.
However, take 2 more SAT subject tests to get 3 in total, which is the requirement for some of your colleges.</p>

17

<p>^Agree. if you get 2250-2300 you will stand a great chance.</p>

18

<p>dammit guys, a 90 point difference will NOT help you. When she has already high scores, she shouldn't be taking the SATs again to go even higher... Just need good EC's</p>

19

<p>thanks for your help so far</p>

<p>Here's why I think you should retake:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>You've only given it one go (or it appears that way). Many people take the test at least twice. You can take the test three times (sometimes four times) and feel no retribution.</p></li>
<li><p>Your scores are high, but as a relatively unhooked candidate, higher scores will give you a better chance.</p></li>
