Chance for Harvard and Cornell

I don’t mean to be cruel, but I really can’t see someone (especially an international) getting into Harvard, Cornell, or any other tip top school with a 1700. I think even a legacy/recruited athlete would have trouble with those stats.

Are you a senior? If not, STUDY and retake the SAT. If you get it to 2200+, or maybe even 2100+, you’d have a shot thanks to those great ECs. If you are a senior, you could apply just to cover all your bases but MAKE SURE YOU HAVE OTHER, LESS COMPETITIVE SCHOOLS. You need matches and safeties. I’m sure CC could help you discover some if you need help. Good luck!
