hey, u chanced me so I wanted to return the favor. You have good chances...mostly everything too competitive is a crapshoot. Narrow your activities and I think you will be in at Duke. Cornell might be a bit tougher. Darthmouth, I dont know too much about, but they are more on the liberal arts side. Thus, your classical dancing might be a good activity for them. All in all, good luck and PM me if you have any more questions. both of us are in the same boat

i live in NY
does that help chances at Cornell?

your gpa is pretty good
your ECs are amazing
your SAT I is pretty good but could do with some improvement
your SAT IIs need some help for these colleges. taking both Math I and Math II seems a little counter productive and I think you'll need at least a 700+ on Math II and chem (assuming that you need to submit 2 SAT IIs).

but other than that you look like you're in good shape.

what would be a good SAT score, because i am taking intensive classes to try to bump me up 100 pts..

SAT 2s... i will retake math & chem
thanks

any more CHances?

neogop

i think a good 100-150 point increase will help a lot.
sat 2s are really really important however
i think that increase in SAT will help a lot with duke and notre dame. i think you're a good match for cornell which i have heard is "the easiest ivy to get into and the toughest to get out of." darthmouth is probly a medium reach however. and i know nothing about the penn state program so i cant reallyhelp with that.

Soccergirl11

math i will def. get that 60pt boost.. b/c i got stupid questions wrong - 800
cr - hoping for that 70 pt boost - 700
writing - maybe 10 to 20 bump - 650/660

Soccergirl11

Are Sat2s really that important?

neogop

i personally think they are. but i'm not an admissions counselor...

^ I dont think SAT 2s are as important. If you got a 5 in AP Chem Exam but a 680 on the subject test, I am sure they will see that you know your chem but had a bad testing day. However, if you did bad on the AP test as well, then you should probably retake.
