<p>Hello there, </p>
<p>I am a Canadian applying to numerous colleges/universities in the United States. I am just curious of what will my chances be if I applied to arguably the elite schools in the United States. I have alternatives, although I have two (2) in particular for Ivy League Schools: Princeton University and Yale University. </p>
<p>Gender: Male
Race: Asian denomination
Personality: Ambitious, determined, and thoughtful.
Possible Major: Architecture (Primary), Economics or Global Relations. </p>
<p>Grades: Fairly reasonable (A's; Avg last year: 88~%)
SAT Score: 1900~
SAT Subject Score: 600~ , 650~ </p>
<p>Extra Curriculars: 3 on the Executive Council ( Position of Vice President (x1), President (x2), and Founder (x2)), 1 General Member. Grand total of four (4). </p>
<p>I acknowledge that I will be competing against people who will have MUCH higher SAT scores. I am really curious of how holistic Ivy League Schools are.</p>
<p>Princeton: Reach
Yale: Reach</p>
<p>Sorry but your SAT scores are too low and you don’t have enough ECs to be competitive in their applicant pools.</p>
<p>It’s gonna be extremely tough to get in with that GPA and SAT. Both are reaches unfortunately</p>
<p>I am really trying to push for a 95%~ Average this school year PLUS I will be taking 2 SAT and 1 SAT subject tests these upcoming months (Hopefully with a beautiful 2200 + 740 goal, without getting sick on test days). </p>
<p>I am debating on planning more clubs as GM (instead of Executive council)… Will it weigh the chances differently?</p>
<p>We obviously don’t know how holistic those admission processes are, but try to improve your standardized test scores. At the end of the day, it’s one of a few aspects of the application that can actually be compared between candidates</p>
<p>If you are in your senior year, rushing around to cram in more activities/a higher gpa will likely not contribute much, as you are applying in the fall semester. I would say even if you had phenomenal test scores and your current ECs or vice versa, it’d be a lofty reach. Both ends of your spectrum are kind of lacking what Princeton/Yale would look for, sorry to say</p>
