UPenn
Amherst
Brown
Dartmouth
Stanford
Carnegie Mellon
Swarthmore
Pomona
Carleton
Northwestern</p>
<p>Your transcript is good! You fall in, in terms of competitiveness, with a lot of applicants for the schools you’re applying to. At this point, I think if you write a great essay and have a bit of luck, your chances of getting into at least one of these schools is pretty good.</p>
<p>U def have a chance. Amazing transcript i must say, but ur schools are reaches due to them being crapshoots. I bet you’ll get into at least one.</p>
<p>By 2150 sucking, I meant it in the context of the universities that I am applying to. Only my Maths score is above their 75th percentile otherwise both Wr and Cr come between the 25th and 75th percentile. And as an international applicant applying under financial aid, I believe I would need everything going my way, no?</p>
<p>@math64, it’s not that I’m not willing to fix it. Would that I could. It’s that I want to bolster up other areas in my application in time for ED. I can concentrate on SAT again in January if ED doesn’t work out.</p>
<p>You have a fighting chance at all of these schools.but to be brutally honest this is an amazing transcript however it also kind of common for students to partake in all of these activities. You might want to look at some higher level state schools like umass Amherst, university of Michigan at Ann arbor, or uc Berkeley. chance back?</p>
<p>Honestly, your transcript and application is very good. However, like everybody else with these schools, they are all very unpredictable. I think you have a high match at Carnegie Mellon. The rest are mostly low and mid reaches, but Stanford will be a high reach. Honestly, I have never heard of Carleton, so I can’t help you there. Good luck!</p>
