<p>I also was a member of random clubs, but I did not feel like that was important.
I want to major in history, human rights or political science.
I’m from NYC and I’m low-income but white.
I know it’s a reach, but do I even stand a chance if I can bring my SAT to around a 2200 super scored? And after all, should I apply because of a small chance? Any help is appreciated! </p>

<p>anyone at all?</p>

<p>If you can bring up your SAT to at least a 2250, I think you can be a competitive applicant. Your GPA and class rank prove that you are a qualified student, but your SAT score is at the lower end. </p>

<p>Thanks, but I definitely won’t reach 2250 lol. Maybe, if I’m lucky, a 2200. </p>
