<p>Can’t determine your chances at all without SAT/ACT.</p>
<p>Assuming scores in line with the rest of your application (i.e. strong):</p>
<p>UT-Austin match.
Oklahoma State match.
Dartmouth reach/low reach.
Duke reach/low reach.
Harvard reach/low reach.
Rice reach/low reach.</p>
<p>Your application looks pretty strong even without the hooks, but you’re doubly hooked with low income and first-generation college student, so you’re probably in pretty good shape here.</p>
<p>Shameless plug: Rice is the best on your list - we win quality of life and happiness rankings for a reason.</p>
<p>Yeah, it will for the UC’s and such. But for the ivies/stanford/rice, test scores are not as important as ec’s. Why? Because at the ivy level, everyone is a good test-taker, so how can the admissions winnow out from the crowd? By focusing more on ec’s and involvement in your community, and essays.</p>
