<p>If you’re looking for advice on where else to apply, go to the “College Search” forum and try your luck there; this forum will likely overlook your thread otherwise.</p>

<p>If you’re looking for opinions about your chances at the schools to which you plan to apply, I’d say your list is reach-heavy. With that said, if you bring up your SAT to 2000+, your chances will go up dramatically. Your URM status, combined with 2000+ SAT, would get you accepted at many great schools.</p>
