I think you've got good shots at all these, especially Ohio State. Sorry I'm not too familiar with these schools though.

MWebby:
National Italian Honor Society? AATI contests, by chance?
I think you're in to all those schools. If you raise your SAT scores, I think you can shoot a lot higher, though I understand those choices if money is a big factor.
West Point is pretty competitive, but I don't know how their admissions works (other than that it's congressional nomination) so I can't chance you for that.

Okay, so I just got 2130 (660 CR, 710 M, 760 W) and superscored 2150 (680 CR (1st try), 710 M, 760 W). I know this isn't great, but would it kind of improve my chances at say like Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, or Brown?

Guys can anyone tell me my new chances at CMU, USC, UCLA, Berkeley, Brown, Cornell, and Rice specifically. My chances for Stanford and some of the others haven't gone up, but with the 2130 (2150 superscore), will my chances at the schools I mentioned increase?

Bump guys. I'm going to take the November SAT to try to get above 2150 superscore (2130 October sitting). What would my chances be for the schools I mentioned?

Don't listen to anyone telling you you won't get in, even at HYPMS type schools. Admissions are wild at top schools and anything can happen. You want to go there? Apply! It won't hurt and you have a great chance for at least one of those top schools. Now stop asking for more things cause you are fine. No one can truly tell you if you will get in. Just apply and see if you get lucky. Stanford rejects perfect 36 ACt and will take a 30 ACT if they feel he or she is a better addition. Good luck!

Okay thanks! I am intent on EA'ing to Stanford and even if I get rejected, I have a lot of back up options to turn to because some of the smaller colleges like Allegheny want to recruit me for tennis, but I am passionate about following my goals.

I would absolutely add a few safeties as none of the schools on your list are sure things. I suspect your odds are less than 50/50 at each of these schools save perhaps for USC where you are probably a match (60 - 90%).

How about UCLA and Berkeley since I am a California resident? I have a couple of safeties that waived the application fee like Allegheny, Hofstra, Drexel, Fordham, and some other schools. Should I apply to UCSD?
