<p>PSAT last year as a sophomore: around 170 (but very high in reading/comprehension), with literally no preparation. I took a sample one with kaplan that was very accurate with last year's PSAT results and recieved a 198; just took the real one last month and pretty sure I got over 200.</p>

<p>I am extremely passionate about politics, so I would like to study Political Science and minor in International Relations/Business.</p>

<p>So far, I have looked into UCLA, UCB, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Dartmouth, Cornell, Brown, NYU, Georgetown, Columbia, and USC.</p>

<p>Do I have a chance at any of these schools? Am I on track? Is there anything specific I can do to set myself apart from other applicants? Any other suggestions?</p>

<p>*And I know it may help that I live in California for the UC's, and I know they say it doesn't matter but for what it's worth I am 1/2 Mexican, 1/4 Armenian, and 1/4 Yogoslavian.</p>

<p>\sat scores?</p>

<p>I just see a lot of hypotheticals. Bring SAT/ACT, then we’ll talk. However, going off of your PSAT, your scores are going to be a bit low for Ivies and the like.</p>

<p>the UC you are probly in but remeber about the ivy leagues you are a long shot away just like everyone else.</p>
