<p>I think that you stand a decent chance for all of these schools but honestly, ivy leagues are really hard to predict because there is so much they factor into their decisions. So in essence it will never hurt to try. But since you’re a junior, get that SAT score a little bit higher just to be safe!</p>

<p>Thanks guys! Keep the chances comingg:)</p>
<p>I agree with others - I think you’re in at places like UT Austin, UCLA, etc., but to really get into those Ivy’s you’ll have to have a stellar essay to make up for your SAT score (it’s an amazing score, but you know those admission officers!)</p>
