<p>anybody at all- anybody?</p>

<p>ok guys- this is getting old</p>

<p>What’s the breakup of your SAT I?</p>

<p>Your schools really aren’t that unrealistic actually. I say you have a decent shot at all of the places you listed. I think Tufts, Notre Dame, and Northwestern are slight reaches…but they aren’t too out there. Oh, and your ECs really aren’t bad at all. Sure, they are bit below average compared to people on here, but overall they are actually quite nice.</p>
