<p>Ok, I guess that means that none of your AP scores are official. It is completely absurd to predict an AP score in a class you haven't even taken.</p>

<p>Your scores are fine and coupled with your GPA they'll probably get you Toronto, McGill and UMich.</p>

<p>Standford though is going to want a lot more from you. Great ECs, killer essays and recs, etc.</p>

<p>And the Ivies are reaches for everybody. And people underestimate the fit factor. Brown/Yale are especially picky about their kids. They have a 'type' that's a bit more particular than brilliant. Keep that in mind when you write your essays.</p>

<p>And get another safety. For the love of god.</p>

<p>up the sat score...</p>

4

<p>SAT's are really unimpressive. Very little chance at HYPS, Brown, Dart.</p>

5

<p>Don't listen to the last two. While your SAT is in the lower % for those schools, it is by no means "unimpressive." 2170 is a great score. But for those schools, It would do you well to improve it, though.</p>

<p>^Anything above a 2100 is basically the same. SATs are just qualifiers. You took them once, I assume. And you probably got hmm 10/100 questions in a section wrong. Life goes on.</p>

7

<p>Any suggestions on how to improve EC's?</p>

8

<p>^It's a little late for that. But you can PRESENT them better. Have you won awards at Model UN? Are you a starter on Varsity on one of your sports teams?</p>
