Chances? Emory, Duke, Vanderbilt, etc.

Glad to see another sophomore on CC. From what your credentials are currently and what they could be by senior year, i’d say you are poised to be on track for these schools and higher ones like ivies.

To answer your question, a difference in 60 points isn’t really going to matter much. Even with a score of say 2200, will be able to get into nearly any school you are looking at. Secondly, your ECs are fine. You don’t need to join 13 clubs to impress a college admissions officer. In your coming years, just try to focus on what you truly enjoy.

Colleges that would also be good fits are Rice University (Houston), Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh) and Wake Forest University (pretty close to Raleigh)
