HELP! Scared half to death

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Heyy so I got my SATs back yesterday and they were a 2000...I also got a 30 on the ACT in December. Here is my question: Based on the somewhat vague information posted below, are these scores TOO low for Ivy league/top-20 school contention?</p>

<p>I'm really aspiring for some top Ivies like Harvard and Columbia, but "realistically" would love to attend Brown, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, or Duke.</p>

<p>I'll make a chance thread later in the summer as I'm a Junior, but in a nutshell I have a very high rank in a competitive school, I'm Asian-Indian :(, second-generation, great ECs with lots of leadership (no sports though), internships, community service, etc</p>

<p>I'll do well in my interviews as I am not your "typical" Asian; I prefer to enjoy my adolescence than to be couped in my room 24/7 studying, although I do work very hard. My essays and recs should also be very good.</p>

<p>My SAT breakdown is:
CR: 650
M: 680
W: 670 (Essay: 10)</p>

<p>My ACT breakdown is:
English: 30
Math: 30
Reading: 33
Science: 27</p>

<p>I'm 100% sure I want to become a neurologist. A good portion of my ECs are medical related, so that should help, right?</p>

<p>Also, I've only taken each test once, so I am definitely going to take them again. </p>

<p>I'm going to take the Biology E/M and Math II SAT Subject Tests May 1, and the Spanish Subject Test with Listening in November.</p>

<p>Thanks for your time!</p>

<p>You can never guarantee acceptance to Ivy League, their a wild card you can have a perfect 2400 and still get rejected. But you might have a chance at a Teir I school though. Getting into ivy league requires a great package of a excellent essays, recommendations, and ec’s.</p>

<p>low for Ivies. sorry</p>

<p>Improve your Writing score by getting the Blue Book and going over the explanations for EVERY single question. There is very little variation between the questions. They test the same concepts with different sentences.</p>

<p>You have A LOT of time to improve.</p>
