<p>You have a solid chance. But these schools you listed are top schools, so a lot of it is by luck. You’re ec’s seem fine, but your sat is a little low in my opinion if you want to stand out at these schools. Also, work hard on your essays because top schools distinguish students mainly by their ec’s and essays because many applicants have grades and scores similar to yours if not better.
Also, your unweighted GPA is a little low, but it is not destructive. Try to bring it up as best you can.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input! Bringing up my GPA will be hard as junior year is over and senior year grades won’t be inputted. I’m starting to work on my essays.</p>

<p>bump! Would appreciate any more input.</p>

<p>Cornell ED: low reach
CMU RD: low reach
Berkeley RD: mid reach</p>

<p>Also, I would advise you just send your SAT, not your ACT.</p>

<p>Good luck :D</p>

<p>Thanks! Looking to score higher on the SAT to improve my chances. Would a 23** make Cornell a match? :D</p>

<p>All of them would be low reaches. And definitely don’t retake the SAT, it’s fine. I would send in my ACT if i were you btw.</p>
