<p>uh.. 800+800+800=2400..
if the essay screwed you over, then you don't have an 800 in writing...</p>

<p>cornell and hopkins are never safeties though. make sure theres something that you will DEFINITELY get into, cuz you never know with the ivies and MIT.</p>

<p>but you've obviously got a fantastic chance with what is practically (or is) a perfect SAT score. there's not really reason to ask. it's hard to judge extracurriculars.</p>

<p>good luck.</p>
