<p>i’m really sorry, but no top tier school is going to take you with a 590 in math. my oldest brother was grandfathered in Upenn with his SAT score (2230) and a letter from my dads best friend on the board of trustees.</p>

<p>my other brother had the same letter from the same guy but only a 2000 on his SATs. he got a 590 in critical reading and wasn’t qualified for the “grandfather” status my brother received. once an Ivy league college or a top 20 sees something in the 5s they’re going to reject you, sorry</p>

<p>Brown and Cornell - high reach
Georgetown - reach</p>

<p>Did you apply and get into any schools yet?</p>

<p>RD Brown is significantly more selective than Penn ED. Unless you are AA, Native American, or are a recruited athlete, those SAT scores are not likely to gain you admission to Penn, Brown or Cornell CAS. Make sure you have a selection of match and safety schools along with the ones mentioned.</p>

5

<p>Make sure you have a safety that you can see yourself attending. You are obviously very bright and headed for success where ever you go.</p>

6

<p>Can you retake SAT in January and just focus on math, to get a better score?
Are you applying to any SAT optional schools?</p>

7

<p>Yeah I figured my math score would probably be why I wont get in, thats actually the highest score I got after taking it like 4 times and I cant seem to get higher, I’m also applying to boston college, the college of william and mary, university of pittsburg, and the college of the holy cross (sat optional) in addition to a bunch of safeties.</p>
