<p>(You've got time to improve those SAT scores)</p>

<p>But with the current ones:</p>

<p>Stanford (legacy, scea) - reach
Princeton - Big Reach</p>

<p>University of Michigan: Match
Brandeis: Slight Reach</p>

<p>UTexas:Match
University of Colorado: Safety</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

3

<p>Even though you wouldn't be considered a URM I think they'll treat you more like one (because of your unique life experiences)</p>

<p>Bring up SAT to 2250+ and Stanford looks good.</p>

4

<p>Thanks!...</p>

5

<p>Can anyone chance me again and suggest some other good safeties (like Boulder) and matches?</p>

6

<p>just FYI when I mean for 2008, I mean for ENTRY in 2008 and acceptance in Dec of 2007, when I will be graduating...</p>

7

<p>well if you don't mind going to a big public school, then you should check out University of Washington. It's probablly as much like CU-Boulder as any other state school you will find, and i'm sure it would be a safety for you. I don't know how hard it is to get in OOS, but you would be in with flyinc colors if you lived in WA.</p>

8

<p>any more chances or opinions?</p>

<p>"Even though you wouldn't be considered a URM I think they'll treat you more like one (because of your unique life experiences)"</p>

<p>I don't.</p>

<p>SATs too low for Stanford and Princeton, are you intl?</p>

10

<p>Yea, although I am mostly applying to Stanford and Princeton to see if miracles can really happen. Really more interested in the other 4</p>

11

<p>Well, i dont really see anything baoutyou that stands out. These days, for the top ~20 schools, there are more than enough 4.0 GPA and 2250 SAT students. With this said, even with a retake SAT you lack a significant hook.</p>

12

<p>Could you chance the other 4 though?</p>

13

<p>dont give your opinions all at once!!!</p>

<p>Can anyone more give chances for all of those?
Also, any opinions on the University of Iowa and Hawaii at Manoa as safeties and possibilities for scholarships?</p>

14

<p>Stanford (legacy, scea) - slight reach
Princeton - far reach
University of Michigan: match
Brandeis: match
UTexas: safe match
University of Colorado: safety</p>

15

<p>anymore chances?</p>

16

<p>if you bring up that SAT score to at least a 2200, you're looking good at stanford with that legacy...it's do-able...i brought myself from a 2160 to a 2380...do the same, and you'll go from a 1930 to a 2150. good luck!</p>

17

<p>anyone else?</p>

18

<p>don't be shy..</p>

19

<p>no one? c'mon</p>

20

<p>last bump..</p>
