Colleges on east coast preferably with an integrated science program</p>
<p>I’m a little confused. Do you want us to tell you how you can improve your chances at the Ivies, or give you college recommendations? Or both?</p>
<p>Both i guess hahah</p>
<p>Where are you from? Rank? Have you only just taken those three AP classes? Can you confidently say that your schedule is “most rigorous”? </p>
<p>I’m guessing you have no hooks (URM, legacy, recruited athlete). What I would concentrate on first is raising your scores, since you say they aren’t good. Then…honestly, if your course rigor isn’t good–and it doesn’t look that great–then you’re sunk.</p>
<p>I can’t help you on the other thing, I have no idea about integrated science programs.</p>
<p>What are not awesome SATs?</p>
<p>I thought you were giving up?</p>
<p>Take the SAT and ACT as soon as you can. From that, you’ll have a pretty good idea of whether you can score high enough to be competitive for ivies.</p>
<p>But, seriously, you need to keep an open mind and visit other schools that you might like if you don’t get into an ivy.</p>
<p>i am taking the most rigorous coruses and am in the top 10%</p>
<p>What exactly were your SAT scores and what do you think you will be able to get them up to?</p>
<p>I read one of your other threads and it said you got a 174 PSAT but that you haven’t taken the SAT or ACT. Is that true?</p>
<p>What is your SAT score(s).</p>
<p>i havent taken the SATs yet</p>
<p>AK, which Ivy league are you talking about. Which do you like? I suggest looking into each school and expanding your options.</p>
<p>by the way I have a hook on columbia even though it isnt my first school choice- i have a grandparent who went there and was one of the first Jewish women to attend the university if that counts.</p>
<p>^If you are interested, you could try to apply to the JTS/Columbia dual program. I have a friend that got into Columbia that way but was denied ED from NYU.</p>
