<p>Thanks sooo much! :D</p>

<p>Wellesley gives an awful lot of ***** about SAT scores so I recommend you apply ED to Smith, whichdoes not care much about them.</p>

<p>I’m not exactly sure about which of these schools are need-blind and which are need-aware, so these chances are based on all the info you’ve provided except for your financial aid requirement.</p>

<p>High reach: UPenn
Low reach: Tufts, Bowdoin, Cornell, Rice
High match: Wellesley, Notre Dame
Mid match: UVA (EA), UNC (EA)
Low match: Smith
Safety: Mount Holyoke, UIUC (EA)
(I don’t really know about UWaterloo or McGill.) </p>

<p>Good luck! :)</p>
