There's prob other stuff that i can not think of now.</p>

<p>My goal is to pursue some science/math like chemistry, physics, or maybe engineering.</p>

<p>I wouldn't worry too much about being accepted gy GA Tech and UGA, but if you are hoping for Emory I would definitely suggest retaking the SAT. It will help that you aren't white, and it will also help if you apply early decision. Duke would be much more of a long shot than Emory I think.</p>

<p>yeah that was pretty much i was thinking. duke was just out there. im trying for a 2000+ SAT by Oct. with all the studying i am doing. GT is pretty much my dream school.</p>

<p>anymore?

<p>agree with pig scrambled without llon8908 on retaking your sat
but I don't think your ethnicity will help much because indian dudes are generally super smarts--> more competition for you.</p>

<p>good match- UGA
sketchy- tech
oxford- ed/ea and you'll probably get in</p>

<p>Don't worry too much about GA tech and UGA. I think Oxford you will get into. The others are reaches with Duke being a high Reach.</p>

<p>Please chance me at:
