<p>Have you tried talking to coaches toget recruited? You seem like an all around amazing athlete and student. If you get recruited, the Ivys could become more attainable.</p>
<p>Thank you for that (: I’m not the best athlete but I work hard. I doubt I could get recruited to a d1 school though. I’m really interested in political science. Do you have any suggestions?</p>
<p>SAT’s are low for schools like Harvard Princeton Dartmouth etc…, your EC’s are medoicre… you don’t stand out, good grades and scores are not everything. Focus on your essays and be unique. </p>
<p>@driftadriva He’s an eagle scout, plays two varsity sports with one captainship, and is apparently really good at something called the academic games… not exactly “mediocre”. Also his SAT scores are at about the mid-50 for the hyper-competitive schools. </p>

I’d say your list is a bit reach heavy, but there’s nothing wrong with applying to ton of reaches- just make sure you have one or two good safeties, and a couple of match schools you’d be happy to attend. Don’t sell yourself short. Best of luck!</p>
<p>@Literature for schools like UCLA, USC, Miami and American he is outstanding…</p>
<p>However, compare him to the caliber of students applying to Harvard, Brown, Dartmouth THEN come back and tell me how he stands compared to them. Yes, his academics, scores, and EC’s are great, but so are the other 40,000+ applicants to those Ivies. He does not stand out as unique when compared to kids who have started their own NGO’s/NPO’s, advocated to the UN, won international competitions in science and speech, or had research published in national science journals…</p>
<p>@Zeke55 you might want to add some other good schools in which you stand a good chance, such as JHU, Cornell, Tufts, NYU, WashU, Carnegie Mellon, UC Berkeley, etc…</p>
