<p>Your scores, grades, and ECs are on target for every one of these schools; however, all three of them are known to turn down a lot of people who are also on target. They’re all a crapshot, but they are also all worth the application fee.</p>
<p>You look like you’d have a really good chance for all of those schools! And why would you ever even consider retaking the SATs?!? Haha, but seriously, don’t freak out! I’m sure you’ll end up perfectly fine no matter what school you end up going to.</p>
<p>Yeah, you really don’t need to worry: I think you have a fair chance at any of these schools… Still, don’t expect to get in, as nobody is ever guaranteed.</p>
<p>Don’t retake SAT1, but you definitely should check the SAT2 requirement. If you have not taken the SAT subject tests, you are likely late for ED/EA of those schools that require them. Stanford only recommend SAT2 while both Columbia and Brown require SAT2 if you submit SAT1 instead of ACT score. So, you should probably do REA for Stanford and RD for the others. It seems you are a highly qualified student but you are lack of planning and guidance.</p>
<p>You have a fabulous application. All of these schools are reaches for all of their applicants. You have a much, much better chance than the vast majority of applicants. Remember that the world is not fair - all three of these schools weigh race/ethnicity in their admissions decisions. It is sad that in 2013 Americans have to worry about that, but colleges heavily value diversity, as it does provide a tremendous benefit for their students. Best of luck!</p>
