| Sammey, nice class rank, gpa and ecs. I think you will get into Miami. The other two are reaches for everyone. Some others to possibly check out are Case Western, Boston University, Tulane, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pitt and Georgia Tech. Tulane is supposed to be very good with merit aid and I think that Miami is good too. Best of luck! | |

| You should take the ACT and SAT again in the fall, more so the ACT. You really need to get those test scores up to get into a Top 25 school.... But otherwise, you're probably in at Miami.. and to elaborate on the list poi gave you:
Case Western: Likely
Boston University: Likely
Tulane: Likely
Michigan: Reach
Wisconsin: Middle
Pitt: Likely
Georgia Tech: Middle
Good luck! | |

| ^good school
I wouldn't get too caught up in getting credit for AP classes...certainly not to the extent that it would alter your college choice | |

| If you want an ivy school you do need to raise that SAT score. However I think you'll get into Miami. | |

| Your GPA is just amazing but the SAT and ACT scores seem to tell different things really. Grade inflation might be happening in your classes. Anyways, good stats but only weak test scores. For Ivy league, you seem to fall way below their average scores. | |
