<p>I think you are in for the first 5, the last two are slight reaches but your URM status really helps with admissions. You also have solid ECs and awards.</p>

<p>yeah I was thinking that URm status would help, but I do want to earn my admissions. What about any UC schools? Doubt I’ll apply, but I still have time to decide.</p>

<p>Agree with 1232cricket. Best of luck!</p>

<p>just for myself, did you study a lot the second time or no? I got a 1960, debating whether or not i would do better</p>

<p>It really depends on you. I didn’t study the second time and I did way better. If you want to figure out if you’ll do better, there is something on collegeboard that tells you what percentage of people with your scores did better, worse, or the same the second time. I think though, that had to be purchased when you registered. In all honesty I think that nerves had a lot to do with it. I felt a lot more comfotable the second time and I knew the procedure.</p>

<p>Yeah, i ended up not taking it today just cuz I was kind of apprehensive as to whether or not I’d do better. It was probably a mistake, but I wasn’t in the right “mindset” and having that is pretty important (for the SATs it’s probably the MOST important thing). I’m taking the IIs in October, I can take the official test again in November after studying a little periodically over the next 5 months</p>

<p>Anyway to be on topic, I know for sure you’ll get into Boston U and Rutger’s. I don’t know much about the other schools</p>

<p>EDIT: chance me back? haha
