<p>Wharton - Reach
Princeton - Reach
Chicago - Low Reach (but obviously depends on your essays)</p>

<p>If we are to judge only based on if you get a scholarship at the following universities, here’s what I would say.</p>

<p>University of Michigan - High Match
Vanderbilt - High Match
Notre Dame - Low Reach
University of Virginia - High Match</p>

<p>Props to Rotary! I always love seeing that fellow students participate in it.</p>

<p>Anyway, considering that you are an ORM, the 2140 doesn’t put you in good standing for Wharton and Princeton. I could see you being accepted into the rest, including UChicago.</p>

<p>May I ask what does ORM stand for?</p>

<p>If I could raise my SAT to 2250+, does that significantly increase my chances?</p>

5

<p>ORM = over-recruited minority (Asian-American).</p>

<p>I don’t know about significantly, but it would definitely raise your chances.</p>

<p>UPenn-Wharton - high reach
Princeton - high reach
University of Chicago - mid reach</p>

<p>University of Michigan - low reach (OOS)
Vanderbilt - match
Notre Dame - match
University of Virginia - low reach</p>

<p>UT-Austin - safety</p>

<p>Just being nit-picky but it’s Ivy League. There are no other leagues.</p>

<p>And also there’s no point in chancing when you’re junior because so many things could happen differently during that year.</p>

<p>I’d be shooting for 2300 plus for a shot at Wharton and Princeton.</p>
