<p>Essays good enough</p>

<p>Great teacher recs.</p>

<p>the truth is all i ask for</p>

<p>truthfully, if i was an admissions officer, i would want an explanation for that F in calculus. it doesn't look good floating around junior year.<br>
you will need some safety schools. it depends on what state you would like to live in. do you have a guidance counselor at your school?, or maybe you know of people at your school from the past with similar interests and stats and where they ended up being accepted?<br>
the last 5 colleges on your list will be far reaches. maybe you could take the sat's again this january? any sat iis?<br>
well, i guess that's my two cents. i'm sure other people will be able to give more advice. good luck with everything!!!</p>

<p>my councelor is senile and i'm having trouble finding "guidance"
i'm retaking the SATs in dec.
would taking SAT IIs benefit me at this point?</p>

4

<p>some of your schools most likely require 2-3 sat II tests. i know that brown requires them. you can probably find out from their websites.</p>

<p>thanx, you are amazing!</p>

<p>haha i don't think i know enough about colleges to be amazing, but i'm glad i can help :)</p>

<hr>

<p>UT Austin = big reach because you are not top 10% of your class
UW (seattle) = Not familiar with the school enough to give opinion
UPENN = far far reach
UCLA = far reach
U Mich = far reach
Brown = far far reach
Swarthmore = far far reach
Cornell = far far reach
Carnegie Mellon = far reach
Northwestern = far far reach</p>

<p>Sorry man, but I am trying to be truthful here. You need to look at colleges you have a decent chance at. You can still apply to a couple of these schools but you need to find some matches and safeties.</p>

<p>These are all spectacular schools (not sure about UW) and they hardly accept people who get an F, even if the F is in a tough course such as Calc.</p>
