<p>i agree with scderek4. Your SAT scores seem pretty low for many of these schools but I think you have an amazing extra curriculars and if you accentuate your background in college essays, you will probably have a shot at all these schools.</p>

<p>For Ivy and UCB caliber schools, you do need to improve your GPA and SAT scores a lot. Try to bring up your uwGPA to 3.8+ and SAT to 2200+. Being URM and first generation college student does help your chance a lot though.</p>

<p>Jr High accomplishments don’t go on your college application. Since you are retaking the SAT, be sure to read the pinned study tips in the SAT-preparation forum. You have to work on it systematically.

<p>What do you want to study? Generally, I’ve heard a lot of good things about Macalaster and Grinell, which are matches for you.</p>

<p>i want to major in business administration</p>

<p>Maybe HEC (if you can stomach Montreal’s cold weather and studying in French for four years) should be doable…</p>
