I haven't taken the SAT yet, but my PSATs were all in the 60s and I'm hoping to get the SATs to high 600s realistically.
Chances for Duke, Pomona, Swarthmore and Georgetown?</p>
<p>Aim for 31+/2100+ for this reach-ridden list…</p>
<p>Now get yourself a non-reach or two.</p>
<p>I forgot to mention, in 9th grade I went to a small private day school and from 10th grade on I have been going to a small boarding college prep school. Thanks!</p>
