<p>I’m assuming that you’re planning on going into the science field? If so, you already have a great start, especially with your internship and the fact that you’re very involved with science competitions. I know that colleges LOVE to see a student that has a direction in life and is already taking steps to go there! If it’s not too late, maybe try and get a rec from the professor you’re interning for (I think this is allowed, but you may want to double check this)</p>

<p>Your SAT scores are definitely a little low for a few of these colleges, but nothing that can’t be counteracted with some good extra curriculars and a good essay</p>

<p>All together, you definitely stand a chance with nearly all the colleges listed above! Great job and keep up the good work!</p>
