<p>You need to completely understand this, the ivies will be an EXTREME stretch. This year, kids in my school got their hearts broken by the ivies / big 15. Our top 5 all got rejected / wait-listed by all the ivies they applied to this year and I go to a competitive private catholic high school. You need to have more backups / safeties even if you can get those SAT’s up. </p>

<p>Other colleges really depend on your interests. Some I would strongly advise applying to would be UMich, UVA, UCLA, UCB, BC, etc. These are top-notch schools worthy of an application.</p>

<p>The Ivies treated my public school well about 50 kids got accepted. And a decent amount from the other high school in our district.</p>

<p>Also, Tulane, Boston University and Wake Forest. Best of luck!</p>
