What Colleges Can I Get Into?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm a well-rounded student with no sports, 2 AP classes from junior year and 4 for senior year, a few awards and some academic recognition. I am also involved in/an officer of a lot of clubs and I will be founding a club at my school next year. I'm ranked approximately 10 out of about 400+ students in my class. However, I have a terrible SAT score of 1690 (yes, I will retake it). With all that being said, what colleges can I get into?</p>

<p>Further development of my description of my EC's:
Soon to be junior commissioner for a local environmental organization.
Soon to be president/co-founder of my school's Young Politicians club.
Student council Vice President junior year, president for senior year.
Member of my school's mock trial team since freshman year, co-captain for sophomore, junior, and senior year.
Public relations officer for sophomore, junior, and senior year as well as for my school's branch of the Habitat for Humanity organization.
Member of my school's chapter of the National Honor Society.
Member of my school's Literary club, Multicultural club, and I'm an editor of my school's newspaper.
I also do the PA announcements for my school.
I am a Bank of America student leader.
And I have experience as a paid intern at a local nonprofit agency that focuses on serving families/people in need. I got that internship through the Bank of America student leadership program.</p>

<p>My GPA is approximately a 4.0 give or take 1-3 points.</p>

<p>Based on that info, what colleges can I get into?</p>

<p>Bates, Bowdoin for reaches, but if you’re not that interested in test-optional colleges, a good target for re-taking is 2100+/31+.</p>

<p>Personally I think your SAT and GPA shows great discrepancy, which may severely impact your chance if you don’t explain it well. It is quite an unusual case, seeing that perfect GPA students usually have 2000+ for SAT. You may face some difficulty in applying to unis that require all SAT scores.</p>

<p>Take the SAT 3 times. From all three, you can submit the top scores in each section to get your combined score, and colleges won’t even know you took it three times. Apparently, each SAT test is more difficult in one of the sections. However, this is random so you could end up with two SAT’s with difficult Critical Reading sections.</p>

<p>@kevinjuan Not True. Most schools do not superscore the SAT and only look at the top score in one sitting.</p>

<p>DallasScholar,</p>

<p>I found that out too and it’s pretty annoying. I don’t even like the format of the SAT so I’m just going to take the ACT + writing and Subject Tests for the areas that I’m strongest in.</p>

<p>Add Brandeis (but refrain from sending SAT/ACT scores)</p>
