<p>I feel like all my schools are reaches except for UCONN.. But i would like to hear other people's opinion on my chances.</p>
<p>Having a low SAT and being valedictorian means that colleges will think your high school isn’t rigorous or that all you did is work(a grinder). Neither of these things are true for you, you just need to prep and break 2000 on the SAT, but for Williams,Dartmouth and Middlebury you will need at least a 2100.</p>
<p>Most colleges (if they have never heard of your high school), will think it’s an easy school… However, in your case, I believe your AP test results will be very important, along with your SAT II’s… You clearly were busy a lot, I believe UCONN is an in… I’d be surprised if you didn’t get into Colgate… Hamilton seems like somewhat of a target. The rest depends possibly on your state of residence. If you’re from West Virginia, pick your college. But if you’re from New York, it’s tougher. Good luck!</p>
<p>good EC and decent GPA, raise your SAT and they’ll be matches/high matches</p>
<p>your SAT score is very low for Cornell. you listed AP classes that you took but not the score that you received. Are they 5s, 4s or 3s??</p>
<p>i don’t think you will be able to get in based on your academic record. i am not familiar with the others on your list. sorry.</p>
<p>Being 1 of 464 is impressive! your gpa is really good, and extracurriculars are strong too. I think you need to get your SAT scores at least another 150 points higher (preferably near 2100) to have a solid shot. With a 2100 a lot of these schools would be low reaches. Have you tried the ACT? Also maybe try taking the lit subject test, if you get above 700 on some subject tests that could improve your application. My advice would be to add some match and safety schools along with Uconn. Best of Luck! Chance back please :)</p>
<p>Your sat is going to be very detrimental because the rest is good</p>
