Out of state for Berkeley is murder. You won’t get in with those SATs, it’s the first thing they look for at state schools.

And if your AP scores are as low as you think, Harvard is basically out of the question too. You’re not ‘exceptional or unique’ enough to get in with lower scores.

You could get MIT. And you’ll almost definitely get WashU.

What you need to do is look at other schools. Northeastern LACs, Sewanee, Macalester, Carleton, Rollins, Rhodes. Great schools. But jumping from Harvard to WashU is a big gap.
