Your SAT is a little low for those schools but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try anyway. Stats aren’t everything! You really should apply ED to the school you want to go to the most. Sorry that wasn’t any real advice lol. Have you thought about Georgia Tech or UMichigan?

@emilyskates yes I am doing EA to Georgia tech but I wouldn’t mind attending any of these schools, so I just want an input which I have the best chance at.

Well going by early decision acceptance rates, theoretically I think you’d have the best chance at Northwestern.

@ClarinetDad16 What schools value a 3rd degree black belt, Taekwondo instructor, and on the taekwondo leadership team? Do you know that? If so, please let me know, as this is what one my Common App What makes you unique app will be on.
