<ol>
<li>New Jersey Institute of Technology - IN</li>
<li>Stevens Institute of Technology - IN</li>
<li>Columbia University - Rejection; MAY have a slight better chance applying HEOP</li>
<li>Northeastern - Low Reach</li>
<li>Howard University - Low Reach</li>
</ol>

<p>He’s at a technical vocational school where the top in the class has a 1480 SAT, I’m not sure they offer APs. He might have taken the hardest courseload anyway.</p>

<p>You have an OK chance at Northeastern and Howard, you’re in at the tech schools, and Columbia’s going to look at the scores and toss you into the trash, no offense.</p>

<p>I just realized you don’t qualify for HEOP because you don’t live in NY (I see you live in NJ). So yeah I would reconsider applying to Columbia…underepresnted or not, the SAT scores are too low.</p>

<p>i know my SAT are low im working on it the best i can. What scores do u think i have to get so i can be consider at Columbia ???</p>
