<p>Yeah because Im only going to apply to 5 schools with a 1480 SAT score. Dumbass. </p>
<p>This obviously isn’t my final list genious.</p>
<p>Tis is wonderful! G’luck to you sonny boy!</p>
<p>You need to bring up your standardized test scores if you want to apply to your reach schools. With your current scores and GPA and I don’t think you will be accepted to any of your five reach schools. Also if you want to major in economics and finance being in pre-calc senior year won’t really look good to colleges.</p>

<p>That post didn’t help beatfreaks - at all.</p>
<p>beatfreaks;
Work on that SAT score. Of course, applying HEOP will give you a huge advantage. Cornell - HEOP and Columbia.</p>
<p>Assuming you pull up your SAT scores and hit at least 1900+, here are your chances.</p>
<p>Amherst College -Reach
Cornell University - If you apply HEOP, low reach.
Trinity College - Low match.
Swarthmore College - Reach
UChicago - High Reach</p>
<p>UChicago is extremely competitive.
GOOD LUCK!</p>
<p>Your stats are good though, just work on those scores then you’ll be a BALLAH!</p>
<p>beatfreaks - you shouldn’t call abcdegsds a dumbass when you’re sitting here with a 1480 and a 20. No offense. And unless you raise your SAT by 500 to 600 points, then there is absolutely no reason for you to apply to those schools. It will be a complete waste of your money. I hate to be blunt, but there is absolutey no reason for you to apply to those schools, especially Cornell and UChicago.</p>

<p>I have to agree… Even with URM status there is no way you can get into those schools with a 1480 (this is what most students applying to the same school have just from their math and cr sections). Also, a kaplan prep course does not count as an EC. And if you’re not even in the top 15% of your class, unless you attend a really, really, really strong school that sends the top 20% to these kinds of schools then I don’t think it would be possible even with higher SATs</p>
<p>Im applying to Cornell HEOP friend. If you don’t know what HEOP is, look it up. =D. </p>
<p>And SAT/ACT arent tests that measure how smart one is, so like I said, he’s a dumbass.</p>
<p>And thanks for the input all. =D</p>
<p>Standardized tests can’t measure how smart you are, but they can measure how dumb you are.</p>
<p>You would know. =D</p>
<p>Well, that wasn’t very nice, beatfreaks.</p>
<p>Contrary! Im nice like ice! =D</p>
<p>Mega-society;</p>
<p>What you implied in your post wasn’t exactly “nice” either.</p>
<p>Miss Murder, don’t you have an AFI EP to smoke to or something?</p>
<p>No, not really.</p>
<p>But you could get a life and stop ■■■■■■■■ forums. Or go study for your SATs.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>In what way is this ■■■■■■■■? I’m giving my input. In case you weren’t paying attention to the thread, that’s what he was asking for. People’s input.</p>
<p>Right. And you’re arguing with me.</p>
<p>And you really didn’t provide any means of input.</p>
<p>Well, mega-scoiety, that wasn’t very nice. =[</p>
<p>And it’s not worth it miss_murder, they’re probably just bitter because no colleges want them. Haha</p>
<p>beatfreaks,</p>
<p>You’re a ballah. That’s all that matters.</p>
