<p>As far as I can tell, you have a good shot at Duke, Cornell, Brown, maybe U Penn (slight reaches). Major reaches: HYPS (as for everyone). You'll get into UMass no problem. But still retake those SATs to break 700 on writing (not that colleges actually consider them, but you have the potential).</p>

<p>Apply EA to the college you most want to go to. The only "strategy" advice I can give is to apply to a school with EA instead of ED, because if you change your mind with ED you can't back out.</p>

<p>hmm other state's state schools are reaches just cus numbers, but you're fine maybe try some EC's that imply that you are social, I know UMIch and UMass want to see social skills too, the adcom said so. so try to show that you are fun not just nerdy, cus ur SATs arent high enough so theyll be like this kids a genius, appear fun.</p>

<p>Duke - Reach
Dartmouth - Reach
Princeton - Big Reach
JHU - Slight Reach
USC - Safe Match
Cornell - Slight Reach
University of Chicago - Slight Reach
U of M AA - Safe Match
Harvard - Major Reach
Columbia - Reach
Yale - Major Reach
Rice - Reach
Stanford - Major Reach
Brown - Reach
U. Penn - Reach</p>

<p>The biggest things hurting you are your SAT and lack of leadership ECs. You are a member of many things but you dont have much leadership at all. And your SAT isn't that high, so it will bring down your academic index. Try and add 100 points, it will help.</p>
