<p>My grades faltered in the beginning of Sophmore year due to family medical problems and economic stress... but have gone up considerably </p>

<p>Only one B in last report card...because I came in late to a more challenging course
and I get nothing less than A+ in AP hist A- in Lit </p>

<p>By the end of the year I am sure my rank and GPA will be significantly higher
not retaking sat's though no time...</p>

<p>What schools do you think will accept me</p>

<p>I'm extremely Quixotic and have mostly reach schools I have very SLIM chances of getting in to.
(any chance for an Ivy?.. I'm almost scared to ask)</p>

<p>I'm also looking at small liberal arts schools like Amherst, Swarthmore, Vassar, Wellesley, Oberlin etc.... If you have any suggestions let me know</p>

<p>Id say your scores are to low but id be lieing because i got the one ivey i applied to with a cummalitive 1790 on the sat. you almost always have a chance just impress them any chance you get</p>

<p>Honestly, I'd say no to ivies. At these schools even URMs are in the top 10 of their classes. So unless you go to Andover or another highly selective school, I think ivies will want your rank to be much higher. And you already know your scores are weak. If I remember the common data set for this year's class at Dartmouth correctly, no accepted student scored below 500 on any SAT segment.</p>

<p>This doesn't mean many good schools would not be happy to have you. I think you would do great at the women's colleges like Smith, Holyoak and Scripps. I'd also look at top LACs in the MW and South that don't see many Latina candidates.</p>
