<p>You have a great chance at all of those schools, except for Brown. The legacy might help, but even so, your SATs and GPA are too low. Other than though, you’re very likely to get into the others.</p>

<p>Excellent chances at SU, Union, Miami, Northeastern, Washington and BU. I would give Brown a try too. Not sure on the others. Best of luck!</p>

<p>i say don’t give up hope - you never know…</p>

<p>people on here don’t seem to agree, but your SAT scores aren’t everything. It really depends on how well you can persuade them that you would be a great and worthwhile addition to their school!</p>

<p>I personally know a friend with similar SAT’s & classes (your extra- curricular is better) who applied ED to Brown with LOTS of legacy and got rejected.</p>
