<p>Break down your SAT score as few care about the writing score.</p>

<p>Giving up on ice hockey ?</p>

<p>i still play ice hockey for my high school, not competitively anymore because i couldn’t handle my courseload + 8 trips out of town</p>

<p>720 M, 660 W, 630 CR, 8 essay</p>

<p>writing and reading are my strong suits, so i only studied for math which shows.</p>

<p>i’m re-taking and studying everything to ensure i get at least 700 in every section</p>

<p>Northwetern is unlikely based on your current profile. But, apply & prove me wrong !</p>

<p>I’d say Berkeley and Northwestern are both reaches, but not horribly high reaches. Your EC’s are good, but your test scores are a bit behind. 1st generation will help, but I’m unsure of to what degree. They’re worth applying to, don’t get discouraged!</p>
