Thank you everyone for your replies. I am aware that my SAT score is a bit low for the schools I am interested in. Is that what makes these schools seem like reaches for me? Or is it how competitive they are? Unfortunately I typically do not have much luck with standardized tests which is why my SAT is on the low side. Is there an approximate SAT score that you think would make me a more plausible candidate ( @intparent @glittervine @Chembiodad )? I was hoping that my courseload, activities, and leadership positions would outweigh my lower SAT. Also - my SAT score is right in the middle for Cornell and Williams which is why I felt like it wouldn’t be as big of a deal for them to be reach/fits. But, I want to be a strong applicant so I will try the test again if everyone thinks that could be a make or break factor. Thanks!
