<p>I think your list is very top heavy. You really need to add more realistic schools given the difficulty of admissions in the last few years. What will you do if your SATs stay under 2000? You need to consider some alternative schools.</p>

<p>And it's tutor, not tutorer.</p>

<p>your SATs are pretty low for most of those schools and most like to see more AP classes. i know nyu loves high test scores, and william and mary is REALLY selective these days. the community service looks awesome and might help you a lot...but defintily try raising that SAT score. i agree w/ flopsy btw. all the schools i think are reaches except SD and berkeley is only a slight reach. </p>

<p>occidental gives tons of money...maybe try uw-madison or UT-Austin those are good schools that might be matches for ya. </p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>You should keep UPenn on your list. It's always okay to have at least one super reach-- ya never know.. :) Good luck</p>

<p>By the way, start your essays whenever you can, but do it soon. Give yourself plenty of time or you'd regret it later!</p>

<p>occidental isnt business
madison is like 82% of one minority, i prefer diversity
y UT Austin is like a 35,000 student body, so huge, y it even only has 4% out of state students
