<p>Out of those I'd say Cornell & CMU are your top chances.</p>

3

<p>ok thx, what about purdue and brown? i really want to go to either cornell, brown or purdue.</p>

4

<p>Purdue I am not familiar with at all... And I know that Brown is really random and often selects people if they like their EC's or essay ... I think the standardized test scores are a bit low for Brown??</p>

5

<p>yea, i will explain my lack of reading ability in my essay :P. in the SAT, i got a 800 in math, 800 in writing and a 520 in reading. Do you think that will increase my chances?</p>

6

<p>wow that 520 really brings you down. Try getting like a 650 on CR and then you'll be closer to your goal.</p>

<p>In at Purdue, high reach/low match for CMU
the rest are reaches
520 on CR really brings you down...get it to at least 650 on the December test, which I highly recommend taking
Your score of 29 on the ACT is not very good either for the schools you have listed, except for Purdue. Everything else on your application is good. Write good essays for better chances at Cornell, Vandy, CMU, NW, Brown, and UPenn.</p>

<p>Good luck!! Chance me?
