<p>Your SAT scores and GPA are on the low side and your course load does not seem as rigorous as some of these schools might desire. Although your ECs are stellar I do not think they well compensate enough to get you into a single Ivy league or Stanford, but there is a small chance. I don’t know enough about most of the others to comment.</p>

<p>Chance me back?

<p>Your extracurriculars seem fine etc. But your GPA/test scores are killers. If anything is going to kill your chances to tops schools, it will be that, I don’t know if you’ll have a chance to raise them, but if you do, I’d take care of it.</p>

<p>Care to answer my question? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1247527-how-badly-does-hurt-my-chances-top-schools.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1247527-how-badly-does-hurt-my-chances-top-schools.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Might add Holy Cross-very good school with good combination of academic and school spirit. HC has nice campus 1 hour from Boston and has one of the best alumni networks. Like Duke and the Ivies, Holy Cross is need-blind for admissions.</p>
