I think as far as Ivies go, you probably have a decent shot at Brown, Columbia, UPenn, Dartmouth, and Cornell. As for Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, I think these are reaches, but you might be able to pull them off if your SAT score from the past time you took it is higher. I don't know if having a lowish income will get you a scholarship, but definitely financial aid.

Chance me back? I'd appreciate it

What are my chances of getting into UNC??
