I believe that my extra-curiculars are great, but I’m really worried about my standardized test scores holding me back. Somedays I feel like I can get into an ivy, but I then I have moments where I tell myself it is unrealistic. I don’t want to spend $300+ on college applications, and I don’t really know where I actually have a chance at; your insight will be really appreciated :slight_smile:

Thanks!

I think that you should talk this over with your GC. Anyways, my advice is to apply to a top public college in your state. Also, you have very good academic achievement and could apply to some other high-end private universities in your area. As far as Ivies and top colleges go, you may want to consider a few of them as a high reach, but would probably be best at a good public school. Good luck!
