You are a competitive applicant. Your stats and ECs are great. Pick the school which you like more, as they are very different, and apply ED. Write good essays and you could get accepted to either school

bump

4

what about national merit? or NHS? did they offer that at your school? also what is your class rank if they do that at your school? im not sure you need to take the SAT again with a 1550

5

Don’t retake SAT/ACT. Your stats/EC are phenomenal. It all comes down to essays and luck. Def visit both campuses and figure which one you like more. Good luck!

6

Most likely most likely will be a commended scholar, but no NHS at my school. Idk, I feel like I need to get into that 35ish range to be really competitive :confused:

7

No you don’t. I had a 1520/34 and got into multiple ivies as an unhooked asian male (1370 on PSAT), and I know of others who got in with worse test scores too. You are definitely competitive enough as is!

8

I also have no class rank because my school doesn’t do that, but at the very least I would assume top 15%.

9

I go to an elite private school that is ranked 70th in the nation too if that is helpful
