Well there you go.
I am again hoping to get 2200 this time in the SAT.

<p>Oh I totally forgot about awards... math field day regionals. regional's science fair. I got this one wierd award in 8th-9th summer which was pretty big. ACE team highest point award. etc.</p>
<p>Based on your current stats:</p>
<p>MIT - Big reach
UPENN - Reach
JHU - Match
GW - Safety</p>
<p>Assuming you're interested in science and math, your current stats would be a better match for the following schools:</p>
<p>Cornell
Carnegie Mellon
U of C - Berkeley
Case Western Reserve
University of Wisconsin - Madison
University of Michigan - Ann Arbor</p>
<p>If you do push your M+CR above, say, 1475 and your total score above, say, 2225, based on these scores, your GPA, class rank and URM status (I'm assuming your hispanic), then you can start considering schools like MIT and UPenn. They'll still be a reach, but strong SAT scores, along with your excellent GPA and class rank, and your URM status - a good hook - would give you decent chance at the highly selective schools.</p>
<p>what is urm? Ya i plan on 2200 or at least 700 critical + 800 math in the october. I am really studying words (thats what i miss most. The vocab fill in blank).</p>
<p>URM - Under Represented Minority. Minority groups that are under-represented on college campuses. At this point, URMs include blacks, hispanics, and American Indians. Because most colleges are seeking qualified URMs, being a URM is a hook - a characteristic most colleges really want - and, like being a legacy or a high quality athlete, it gives you an advantage - sometimes a big advantage - in the college application process. If in fact you are hispanic, make sure that every college you apply to knows this. It will definitely give you an advantage, especially if your stats are good.</p>
