<p>Since you do not yet know your June SAT, I’ll go based off of what information you have given me.</p>

<p>U Penn: Reach/ High Reach
Johns Hopkins: Low Reach/ Reach
Swathmore: Low Reach/ Reach</p>

<p>I’m going to be brutally honest for a second, but your scores and GPA are too low for these top universities. Especially for Ivys like U Penn, you should have at least a 2200 on the SAT, and preferably a 3.8 or higher unweighted GPA. You do not meet those criteria. You are correct that being low income, and a first generation immigrant do help your chances, at least slightly. You have okay extracurriculars, but they aren’t anything out of the ordinary. A 2200 or higher on the SAT would give you measurably higher chances for these schools. Do you think that you did this well on the June SAT? </p>

<p>Ultimately, the schools you chose would be incredibly tough to get into. I highly advise that you also chose a safety school, such as your state flagship public university.</p>
