<p>My SAT score for math and reading is 1370, total is 2010 (i know, what a drab)</p>

<p>weighted GPA- 3.96 unweighted- 4.4</p>

<p>Here are my top colleges:
University of Chicago
Northwestern University
University of Maryland- College Park (honors program)
Johns' Hopkins University
University of California- Berkeley
New York University
Duke University</p>

<p>I also need help and advice as to which colleges i SHOULD apply to based on my gpa/scores/ec’s/etc…!!</p>

<p>SAT seems to be the one thing holding you back. Maybe try Wake Forest (SAT optional). Your SAT is still good though, along with ECs (although those are almost too much haha, but you have some great ones) and GPA. </p>

<p>First off, thanks for chancing me! You’re stats and extracurriculars are GREAT! The only thing that you should improve on is your SAT score. Or even take the ACT, which I found much easier (but that’s just me) If you do this, I see no reason why they shouldn’t accept you! Have a nice day! :)</p>

<p>You have a great chance at all of these colleges as soon as you improve your SAT score :smiley: Also, take the Subject Tests if you haven’t already.</p>

<p>Deffff take the SAT one more time. Or the ACT which I would agree with everyone else and say it’s easier. </p>

<p>U Chicago and Cal are basically the only iffy ones.
And maybe Duke. Unless you’re out of state than you should be good to go</p>

<p>I need some more suggestions for schools- thanks for the feedback though, everyone!

<p>UC Berkeley might be tough, but I think you stand a great chance at the other schools (especially UMD). If you improve your SAT score just a bit, I think you would have a solid chance at all of them - your GPA and EC’s are excellent!</p>

<p>Other suggestions - I don’t know what area you are looking into, but it seems like you would be a good match for Boston College, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Georgetown, and more!</p>

<p>…I’m really speechless. I don’t know what to say. Your definitely a competitive applicant anywhere. NYU and UC Berkeley, you have high chances there, but Duke, it’s a reach school. You have a chance at Duke, but I don’t know how high of a chance. Admission is unpredictable.</p>

<p>I’m just wondering though why you have so many extracurricular activities. I thought it was encourage that we have 3 or 4 that were really passionate about. But still, your gold.</p>

<p>I think you can get in all of those.</p>

<p>SAT is ok. EC is great</p>

<p>NYU and UMD seem like safeties for you.
As for the rest of them, you seem like a very strong candidate that will stand out to an admissions officer! I think you should be given admission to a large percentage of the schools you listed! Good luck!</p>

<p>Chance back?
