<p>weak ecs and bad SAT scores... sorry</p>

<p>anyone else</p>

<p>btw i live in cali</p>

<p>your scores and ecs are too weak for the ivies especially since your gpa does not appear to be stellar. UCLA and UCBerk are possibilities since you live in California.</p>

<p>Actually, I think Wash U is going to be the toughest of your likely candidates. You should retake the SATs in January, and give them to Cornell, but it would be too late for Wash U by then, good luck</p>

<p>just to be on the safe side i think you should apply to more safety schools.</p>

<p>Agree, might want to look at more match/safety schools. In the east, Holy Cross, Bucknell or Trinity.</p>

<p>look at Teikyo Post in CT.</p>

Princeton: Reach
Cornell: Slight Reach
Harvey Mudd: Match
