<p>Thanks for your input!</p>

<p>I think youre in at Cornell, Brown, and Dartmouth. Columbia and Penn are matches, and HYP are reaches for everyone. But apply anyways! The admissions process is a very unpredicatable one, good luck, i definitely see you going to an ivy league school</p>

<p>Thanks for the comment! I’ll chance back if you ever need it. Oh, and anyone who is somewhat of an expert, please let me know if my biological mother (we have a relationship, but do not live together as I am adopted) counts as legacy to Yale.</p>

<p>Ok, quick summary for people who are as lazy as I am ;):
SAT: 1450 should bring up to at least 1500
ACT: 33 typo in first post…well it was a 33.25! They should round up :slight_smile:
GPA: 4.63 UW: 4.0</p>

<p>Very strong applicant
Gread grades, ECs, i would want to see you take the SAT one more time
keep up your senior year grades
being an underrepresented minority helps
i say a solid chance at any school, in george town
