<p>Your sat is very low for ivy league schools. Not having an ACT may hurt you as well. Nothing really stands out in your e.c.'s unfortunately. You are a good candidate for other schools (maybe the flagship college of your state) but I don’t think ivies. Hope this helped and if you could chance back that would be great. </p>

<p>I would say that Yale and Harvard are high reaches even if you raise your SATs and GPA. You need something unique on your app to get into those schools.</p>

<p>Harvard and Yale would be reach schools for you. They usually like to see SAT scores over 2200 and very high AP and SAT2 scores. They also like to see leadership positions and a high level of interest in a specific area. Don’t get too hung up on Ivy League schools though; there are plenty of other universities that may have better programs for you.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply. I didnt plan on having ivy schools as my high choices but id like to see what others had to say about my profile vs the competition. I also looked at amherst which was a beautiful campus. I am also looking to play baseball so that plays in to the college process a lot. Considering junior college but its still up in the air right now.</p>
