<p>What is your ethnicity?
If White/Asian, I would still label them all as high reaches…</p>
<p>You have to understand that your SAT scores are not just low for these schools but really, really low. They are at least bottom 5% percentile for those schools, and the people at that level are either double legacies, URMs, or the best in the world at something. Even more discouraging is your GPA… It’s not bad, but you have to understand that these schools turn away kids with solid ECs, 4.0, valedictorian, and 2300+ SATs. Additionally, you have listed no AP test score results which most other applicants will have, and the quality of essays is all relative. Unless you get recruited from swimming at Dartmouth, these schools are high reaches.</p>
