<p>Mostly looking for Dartmouth, but also Cornell and Princeton
Chances please!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Very high reach for Princeton,
Reach for Dartmouth, Cornell</p>

<p>what do I need to improve on?</p>

<p>that SAT score puts you in the bottom 10 percent of those accepted to princeton</p>

<p>why don't you look at some non-ivy</p>

<p>Your class rank is very good and have great ECs but it'll help a lot of you can get that CR score above 700 and math should be 770+ on retake seeing as you got an 800 on math II. Overall I'd say Princeton is a high reach and Dartmouth/Cornell are slight reaches for an ED application and reaches for RD.</p>

<p>so those SAT scores are important eh?</p>
