<p>Columbia-high reach
NYU-low reach
not sure about Stony Brook. Everything is tentative right now because you’re only a rising senior. Definitely get a 2000+ SAT and better SAT II scores to improve your chances. You’ll still have to send in your 530 and 600 for schools that don’t use Score Choice.
As for ECs, try to find passion in them and perhaps get leadership positions. Self-studying for APs is harder than you think, too. Overall, just keep on trying hard and you’ll have a more realistic view of where you stand by the end of junior year.</p>

<p>You need the strong test scores now to be a competitive applicant for NYU, which is a great school btw. Columbia is a high high reach for everyone, so you should apply, but don’t be disappointed with the results.</p>
