Finalising my 8 Colleges so please, I’d really appreciate any input ASAP.

Would need financial Aid.

It’d be helpful to list your senior year class load (APs, honors) and more standardized test scores (no ACT score listed?) as well as more extracurriculars or volunteer work. Without those, I would say your chances for Harvard, MIT, and Columbia aren’t too great.

I don’t think not taking the ACT would make a difference… standardized tests aren’t an extracurricular

Scores are too low for all of the schools mentioned. I’d hope you would add some safeties…chance me back? http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1939905-chance-me.html#latest
