Chances?

<p>Hello</p>

<p>I wanted to see if I have a chances for some of the high tier schools even with my exceptionally low SAT?</p>

<p>My SAT is 550(R) 770(M) 670(W), superscore. my 2nd (and best) try would be the same stats with just the math at 730</p>

<p>Yes I know this is a terrible. But my other stats are uh.. decent?</p>

<p>GPA 3.71 (UW) 4.5 (W)</p>

<p>SAT II Math II (770) World History (770)</p>

<p>EC: Decent but not outstanding. Math Honors Society, National Honors Society, 200+ Voluntary hours, few key clubs etc.</p>

<p>Basically, just to show that I participated in the community and didn't just 'study at home 24/7' </p>

<p>I am not sure how important AP's are. I wish they did take a lot of part in consideration, although I don't think they actually do.</p>

<p>AP Gov - 5
Calc AB - 5
Macroecon - 5
World History - 4
English Lang - 4
Physics - 3</p>

<p>taking:
Calc BC, Psych, Euro, microecon, stats</p>

<p>I am not sure if this could be a valid reason for my low reading score on the SAT,</p>

<p>but I am a completely bilingual student (with a legitimate test score to prove my proficiency) that came from another country.</p>

<p>Will my achievements in the English AP test and skills in a second language (english not my native language) somehow cover my low end of the Reading and probably the writing portion?</p>

<p>I AM going to take the October SAT and hopefully raise my Reading and some Writing, but I don't think it will be up by that much. </p>

<p>Some colleges I am thinking of (they are of different 'tiers'.)</p>

<p>UPenn </p>

<p>Georgetown </p>

<p>U Michigan</p>

<p>UVA</p>

<p>Do you think I have any chances?</p>

<p>Or is my SAT just too low and is it going to completely knock out my chances of getting in.</p>

<p>Again, I am retaking it. If I am, what do you think I should try to aim to get in order to get into at least UVA or Michigan.</p>

<p>Thanks for reading.!</p>

<p>And I am interested in majoring in some sort of social studies field.</p>

<p>Business, Economics, International Studies…</p>

<p>to explain me taking all those social studies classes.</p>

<p>I have legacy of both of my parents not attending college. </p>

<p>As for UPenn, I know it’s a very high reach for me, but I was very interested in the school and wanted to try ED.</p>

<p>However, I feel like it is virtually impossible for me to get in and am considering to use ED for Georgetown instead.</p>
