<p>Your scores are fine for Chicago but a little on the lower side for brown and columbia (at least your SAT scores - APs are great!), but I don't understand why you would only take one subject test...</p>

<p>If you have great essays then you should be fine! I'm applying to Chicago early so results come out in 10 days!! Good luck if you have applied early as well!</p>

<p>Cheers! :)</p>

<p>Oh hello there, Shady. I love how we're both so original with usernames and whatnot. ]</p>

<p>I'm taking the second subject test tomorrow. :) World History.</p>

<p>Oh, so original.</p>

<p>Anyway, I think you'll get into UChicago 'cause you're made of awesome.</p>

<p>Did you take a second SAT II for Columbia, Brown, and NYU?</p>

<p>Ummm... let's look at some statistics from College Board (25-75 percentiles):</p>

<p>Chicago- Math: 660-760, CR: 670-770
Columbia- Math: 670-780, CR: 660-760
Brown- Math: 660-760, CR: 670-770</p>

<p>In other words, the three schools have almost exactly the same stats, with Brown and Chicago having exactly the same 25-75 scores and Columbia being a little better at math and a little worse at CR.</p>

<p>In any case, the OP looks like a fine applicant. As long as he presents himself well in the various elements of the application, he'll do fine.</p>

<p>haha, she's a she</p>

<p>I'll do the ones I am more familar with
UChicago - Match
Brown U - Match/High Match
NYU - In
Columbia - High Match/Low Reach
[You never know what you will get with ivy leagues that is why I put them a little higher, but you should be fine for UChicago, just be creative on the essays! NYU you are in]</p>
