<p>I am looking to major in Political Science, and most of my ECs are related to either Politics or International relations. I've lived in many states/countries, and have studied Spanish, Japanese and Korean. Anyways I have my college conference soon but just seeing how you guys would chance me.</p>

<p>? Georgetown
? McGill
? Northwestern
? U of Chicago
? University of Washington
? University Southern California
? New York University
? University of Michigan</p>

<p>GTown and McGill are a good deal above the rest in my mind. My schools turns out an almost 100% rate for college bound seniors. Most of the students head to west coast we had about 15 kids going to UCLA and 10 going to Berkeley.</p>

<p>It's difficult to say for you. Although your SAT score (though it'll be higher) and GPA are weak, you go to a competitive school and have really good ECs, which could help you a lot at the top colleges. And you show a passion/focus. So I'd say you have fair chances at all of them.</p>

<p>i agree with ^^
you sat scores are very weak though
try improving them and getting your gpa up
other than that, your well off</p>

<p>Hawaii is definitely an interesting location to schools on the eastcoast... as a Connecticutian it definitely caught my eye when I saw that that was where you were from. I agree that your SAT scores are on the low side for some of your schools but they aren't awful (although a retake doesn't hurt). Rating scale: unlikely reach, reach, semi-reach, good fit, likely, safety.</p>

<p>? Georgetown... REACH.
? McGill... REACH.
? Northwestern... REACH.
? U of Chicago... REACH.
? University of Washington... LIKELY.
? University Southern California... SEMI-REACH.
? New York University... GOOD FIT.
? University of Michigan... GOOD FIT.</p>

<p>If your SAT scores go up between 50 and 100 points when/if you retake, I'd say you'd be in better shape for Georgetown, McGill, and U Chicago.</p>
