| That girl musta been good at something else, or she did something unique. Otherwise there's no way she coulda gotten in. I agree, you don't need a perfect SAT or anything close to that...but then you have to have something outstanding to substitute. I know a few kids who got into harvard and princeton with about 2000 SAT...but they also happened to be state champs | |

| Buffalo & Rochester look good. All of the others are unlikely. | |

| unlikely for each one individually right?
so if i applied to like all of them there's a solid chance of me gaining an admission to at least one other? | |

| Based on your posted SAT I scores of 1260/1600, it is unlikely that you will be admitted to any of the others. But there are several other factors to consider; for example, if you are in state for Cornell & apply to one of the state funded colleges at Cornell, you may get a slight advantage over non-residents (although I am not certain of this). You will need to tailor your application essays to each school to increase your chances of admission. | |

| yes you could spend your summer studying sats to get a 2300, but it would be better to practice it up into the 700/700/700 and then do
somethng more useful and helpful. Want to go Wharton? Get an internship, even grunt work, with an accounting firm. Interested in chemistry? Do some research. See once you get your SATs in ' the range ' the best way to make you more appealing is to experience life and write about it. | |

| Trust me it's not that easy to raise 400 points especially to a 2300. It took me two years of on and off studying to go from 1800 to 2200 | |

| well i raised it from 1660 to 1960 with barely any prep, so after INTENSE studying for 2 months it should be around 2100-2300 | |

| Well its only natural to start with a low score like 1600, and once you get familiar with the type of questions on the exam, your score gets the initial jump (anywhere from 100-200 points). Then a little practice can bring it up 50 points ish to where you're at now. It's past 2000 where it starts getting harder because it's so easy to miss a couple questions a section and have that start eating at your score | |

| Come on you are an asian, 700 Math? Pitiful.
How are you on varsity soccer if you say you suck? I think maybe you should try XC if you are good at distance track, what are your times?
And what grade are you in now? Sophomore?
So far I think the Ivy League might be too tough but Cornell is definitely worth a try. I think Notre Dame, UNC, and Rochester are good matches. I think NYU is definitely realistic, and Northwestern is a good medium reach I guess. | |
