A safety should preferably be test-optional in your case...

I think you would be a perfect match for Temple and Drexel, as well as Fordham and Syracuse.

Can you chance me back?

CollegeCurious95

You definetely have a chance for Drexel and Temple, Syracuse along with legacy could be a match as well. Your improvement over the years will show colleges the type of student you are, so I think you are definetely a great candidate!

I agree with what the others said. Although your SAT scores are low, your ECs will help you. Your upward trend will help as well.

I suggest trying to take the ACT( it seems you did better on that test) one more time to try to improve your scores.
