<p>Your SAT pretty much takes you out of contention at Columbia, UCLA (OOS), Northwestern, Chicago, Penn, Georgetown, Duke, and Vanderbilt. That's really the bottom line. Unless you are amazingly exceptional at something, you really don't have a shot at these schools.</p>
<p>Now, for NYU, USC, UTexas, and Tufts:
NYU: a slight reach; they have been known to have unorthodox admissions policies. Your good GPA will help here, as will your unique background.
USC: reach; tough admission standards and lack of unique ECs will probably end up with a waitlist/rejection.
Tufts: reach; they are quite numbers-driven and for you that's not good.
Texas: high match; you are in-state and have some leadership experience. Probably your best bet from the whole list.</p>
<p>Overall, you need more safeties. You need to get realistic about your chances. If it's your senior year, either retake the SAT and boost your score about 400 points or cure cancer. Then you'll have a shot at the likes of Duke, Columbia, Penn, Chicago, and NU.</p>
<p>I second gchris entirely. Your ECs and test scores will eliminate you from most competitive schools, but retake them and try to get at least a 2000+, which is statistically unlikely, but a possibility nonetheless.</p>

<p>Your oblivious to the fact he is the first to ever go to college here. That means alot. When someone is first in the family to go college. And his background is not typical at ALL.</p>
<p>Many other applicants are also first generation college students. He's not as common as applicants who are not first generation college students, but he is still typical.
Plenty of other students exist who have better SAT 1 scores, all else equal.</p>
<p>You see, your just looking at the whole CC population. Obviously, his scores arent that great compared to the people on this forum. But, in the whole scheme of things, he is good for the schools listed. You have been tainted by the peoples stats on this forum.</p>
<p>I compare him to the CC population AND other applicants who are not on this website. He is in the middle of the pack on this website; his profile does not "suck". You are not applying to these very competitive colleges, and yet you know an awful lot about them. I doubt your credibility because you had to make a chance thread yourself at Rutgers. You don't know your own chances.</p>

<p>How is it me making things personal. I am not the one instigating attacks on people. Im not a douche like that. If I think someone is wrong, I dont demean them etc.</p>
<p>Yea, all these schools take a wide range of SAT scores. Getting a lower than 2400 SAT score is not like the end of your hope to get into a top college.</p>
