Could you please chance me for NYU, UPenn, Berkeley, Cornell, and Carnegie Mellon?</p>

<p>Eh, please increase your SAT/AP score if you want to be at the same level as others in UPenn, Cornell, Berkeley etc. If you do get a 33 that’s fine. If not you should put in quite a lot of effort into essays</p>
