I'd retake the ACT and THEN consider the sex change. If you can't get your writing score up, it's pointless.

You have to be a girl! lol
Maybe you could try for some lower Ivies or UCs. I would post this in the chances forum. You'll likely get more feedback. Best of luck!

You could always come for a semester from one of the 12 college exchange schools (ie: Amherst, Bowdoin, Connecticut College, Dartmouth, Mt. Holyoke, Smith, Trinity, Vassar, Wellesley, Wesleyan, and Wheaton).

I don't think they are that selective. I would think it would be more around the 20% to 25% range.

It's a good school. You definitely need to have good grades and scores, somewhere around 2100+ from what I've been able to comprehend. You would probably have a decent chance if you were a girl haha
