4

<p>agree with amptron2x</p>

5

<p>why didnt you apply to any schools in between boston and yale (except cornell)?</p>

6

<p>sounds about right to me</p>

<p>Cornell is more or less a match. 2/600 is a beautiful rank, 800/760/750 is just plain and simple fantastic. All this for a cuban-born Hispanic = URM = hook = great chances. All you should do is study and retake SAT I and get 700+ in all sections and you have a solid chance at HYP</p>

8

<p>well i really didnt apply to many other schools between boston and yale because i actually made my college list kind of late, and i have always wanted to study meteorology, which few schools offer, it wasn't until recently that i began considering other major and other schools, besides I didn't think I had much of a shot at them anyways.</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

10

<p>comments please?</p>

<p>No way at any top ivies, even with your urm status. Those sat scores are way below average for hyp and would lead the adcoms to believe there is some serious grade inflating at your schools, which discredit your GPA as well.</p>

12

<p>if you had a 2150 + i would say you could get into one of those ivies. your ec's dont stand out too much either</p>
