<p>Bring up that SAT score and try to self-study a few AP's, and I think you'd have a decent shot at all of them. Looks like dance is your hook -focus on it.</p>

<p>as of now, northwestern is a slight reach while columbia is a reach</p>

<p>I agree with BingCold, and I can't really comment on the UCs because I know little about them. Sorry!</p>

<p>Good luck on bringing up your SATs...your ECs look fine although a little scattered. It might help if you list them in order of importance so we can get a better feel of where your true interests lie. I say this because you have to do it for the college applications, and it is difficult for us to tell whether you are more into dance or violin, for instance (both you have done for a considerable amount of time).</p>
