<p>Essays: I sincerely think my essays kick butt but that's biased so I don't know.</p>

<p>*Please rate my chances in getting in Stanford or Princeton as they are my final choices for early action. However, since they are both restrictive I can only choose one. As of right now Stanford is the choice for early action.</p>

<p>Your SAT and ACT scores are really quite low for all of these schools. Your ECs are quite limited (unless they are deeper than what you’ve portrayed to us readers). All of the schools you’ve listed are very high reaches in my opinion. If you can increase your SAT score to around 2200 and your essays really do kick butt then you could have a shot. </p>

<p>I have to agree, though i do think that as it stands you are a match at Johns Hopkins. If you improve you SAT scores and maybe find a good internship for this summer that you can list on your app then you can have a shot at some of those dream schools.</p>
