Barnard College (ED?), Sarah Lawrence College, Wellesley College, Honest chance?

I think that you’re an amazing person, but that your reading and writing scores are a little low for Barnard Wellesley, although it never hurts to try. Can you take the SAT again and try to bring them up? Maybe Sarah Lawrence, but only if you do something special with your application. SL wants people who want their unique school and unique approach. The writng is VERY importatn there, though, so on that app I’d turn in your BEST piece of written work that you did in High School as a supplement. I’d also go there and interview. Do your homework first and find out about the unique aspects of SL and then address those things passionately in your interview. You may get in. With your scores and lower writing / reading scores, and interested i women’s schools I’d look at Sweet Briar, Agnes Scott (which has cross registration at Emory), and Simmons in Boston, and the Russell Sage School. Remember: You’re at a huge high school in NYC with many Asian students. See if you can find schools that your classmates are NOT applying to. You may need to go a little further away from home. If you’re okay with going coed, I’d look at Centre college in Kentucky; Rhodes in Tennessee; Knox college in Illinois and Earlham in Indiana, Beloit in Wisconsin, Hendrix, and New College of Florida. In the Northeast, look at Union, as it’s mathy but not exclusively so. It’s a LAC and it needs women. It’s also easy commute back to NYC.
