<p>Your Ec’s and Community works are fine and academics are pretty good to but that SAT score is a real drawback dude!
I won’t advice Cornell (though being the highest accepting ivy it is still very tough)
UIUC and Purdue can be high match or low reach since I know a person who got into both with 1800’s so you can try but still i would say retake it!
Don’t know about other univ. so sorry :)…</p>
