<p>Columbia/Yale - HIGH REACHES, i don't think you will get in</p>

<p>Georgetown/Cornell/Northwestern - REACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
your math is realllllllllllllllly low for these places</p>

<p>Notre Dame, you prob can get in there</p>

3

<p>does my 32 act math and 4 on calc ab make up for the low sat score?</p>

4

<p>i got into northwestern and cornell, and i can say that you need close to a 700 on both sections of the SAT (M + V)</p>

5

<p>not necessarily lol.. just because you got in with 700s doesn't mean that everyone has to have 700s :) that said, your test scores aren't great. if you made the schools aware of your circumstances without them thinking you're whining, and if you essays were great then you have a shot anywhere, because everyone does--I've seen non-URMs/hooked applicants get in with lower scores. i hope you had a safety though, because you never know what can happen</p>
