<p>I'd appreciate it if you gave blunt chances</p>
<p>^ Not true. Georgetown would not “be yours” with a 2100-2200 SAT score. They had an 18% acceptance rate last year, it is very competitive and you’re not an URM since you’re Asian. Oh, and you need 3 subject tests for Georgetown. </p>
<p>The other schools on your list seem achievable if you can raise your scores slighly.</p>
<p>^^If anyone can explain #4 to me, that would be great.</p>
<p>UVa is clearly also a reach. Not sure why people are making it sound like that is no problem. It is about as hard to get into as G’town, especially OOS. Your chances everywhere else are 50-50 or better, mostly better.</p>
<p>You have very solid ECs, good GPA, and a great course load. The only suggestion I would have is to take the SAT1 or SAT2 again for a slightly higher score. Maybe 2100+ or 700+ if possible. However, if you don’t retake, I still think you are a high match/match for every school on your list except maybe Georgetown and UVA, which would be a reach/low reach. With a 2100 SAT, I would say Georgetown/UVA is a low reach/high match. </p>
<p>Also, I don’t think you should submit your ACT score because it converts to roughly 1820 (correct me I am wrong). Your SAT is relatively much higher!</p>
<p>Overall, you are a very strong candidate and it’s ultimately gonna come down to your essays. Best of luck!~</p>
<p>Raise your SATs and you’re pretty much in to most.
Georgetown is very competitive… but there’s a slight chance!
UVA is a public ivy and is super competitive too… especially when you’re out of state… but don’t be discouraged! You never know…
just write amazing essays, have really good teacher recs, and don’t stress. Everything will work out in the end! Best of luck.</p>
<p>Yes, take the sats and your subject tests again! Are you taking the october test? i think it’s kind of late to sign up now, but you should consider taking the sat again in november. your chances of any school would be so much higher! also, work on those essays! make sure you have good topics to discuss! good luck! chance me please?</p>
<p>I would say yes to every one except UVA and G-town. With UVA, its obviously the whole public thing. And G-town is just super hard to get into. Otherwise, you have a nice blend of matches/safeties.</p>
