Update New ACT Score and Chance me for Ivies?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hi guys, I’m a senior who has already applied to colleges. I just received my February ACT scores and saw a massive increase in test scores (Before my SAT was a 2120, I got a 34 on the ACT).

I’m wondering if it’d be possible for me to update the ivies with the unofficial composite score now, and then when the writing portion comes out, I’ll rush the scores to them.

I believe the rest of my app is on par with the ivies, here are some of my stats, chance me if you could: )

GPA: 3.92 UW with (9 APS and 5s on all of them except 2, which I got a 4 on; 13 APS if you count this year)
Class Rank: 2/294
ECs: 2 Club Presidencies, 1 Vice President, 1 Secretary, 2 Sports, 2 Instruments, Research, I have awards in all and they are highly unique.
Big Honors: Intel ISEF 3rd Grand Prize 2014
Essays: Pretty Good
Recs: Amazing
Ethnicity: Indian Male

In addition, my first SAT score was an 1800 (I was sick and didn’t study), it’s on my transcript, would you say that it’s going to hurt much?

Would you guys say my 34 ACT could make a difference, or at least make it so my test scores won’t bring me down?

Schools I’m applying to are Harvard, Yale, Princeton and a few other mid tier ivies

Anyone?

Your 34 would definitely make a difference, send it if you can somehow. HYP are reaches for everybody, but if your awards are truly great and so were your recs and essays then you might get into one. Good luck!

Id put in a few safety’s your scores and ec are good but ivies for the most part are a reach for everyone… best of luck

Would you say my first 1800 SAT will hurt me much?

I’m not sure, hopefully colleges will see the improvement and dedication that you put in instead. I wouldn’t worry about it too much, hopefully they’ll think of it as a fluke.
Look at my thread if you could please :smiley:
