<p>University of Chicago: Your SAT is definitely too low, or at most is even lower than the average for this school. However, you’ve taken quite a lot of AP classes, and if your recs and essays are great, you’d have a chance. I’d still recommend taking the SAT again though, if you’ve only taken it once.</p>

<p>Northwestern: SATs may be in the low end. It’ll probably be harder to get into this one than Chicago.</p>

<p>University of Maryland- College Park: Not sure about the Honors Program, but it’s a match.</p>

<p>John Hopkins: Same as Chicago, I think, but your SAT scores are average for this one.</p>

<p>UC Berkeley: Your SAT scores are most likely too low, especially if you’re out-of-state. Berkeley seems to place a HUGE weight on the personal statement though, so if you’re good at essays…</p>

<p>New York University: SAT is average. Reach.</p>

<p>Duke University: SAT definitely needs to be higher to be competitive. Super reach.</p>
