Failed Oct SAT-should I drop all my reaches?

Chance Me / Match Me

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>My feel like the world is really going to end now because my October SAT was only 20(!!!) points higher. So now my score is only 2120. </p>

<p>My reach schools were
WUSTL
UPENN
Bowdoin
UNC Chapel Hill </p>

<p>But I feel like I’ll just be wasting money applying to them because their 75%percentile is way higher than my current score. Should I drop all my reach schools or should I keep a couple, and if so, which ones?</p>

<p>a 2120 is definitely failing. <— sarcasm
lol are you serious? i would be so happy with a 2120! my friend that got into UPENN got about a 2000 and all he had going for him was the violin, so you have a chance there. and chapel hill? come on the average score there is like a 1900. APPLY you will not be wasting your money. you definitely have a chance… you never know</p>

<p>Where are you getting your info? UPenn’s mid 50%: 660-750 CR; 690-780 M; 670-760 W. You’re about in the middle there. You have a shot. </p>

<p>UNC Chapel Hill mid 50%: 590-700 CR; 620-710 M; 580-680 W. Are you in-state? Only 17% OOS.</p>

<p>WUSTL is really tough to get into. Nephew had 800 CR, 800 M and 790 W and was waitlisted. Only school he was waitlisted, accepted at all others. Other neice and nephew got into U of Chicago, but not WUSTL. Don’t know why so tough.</p>

<p>You have to realize that only on College Confidential are 2100s uncompetitive.
Anyways you still have time to retake it - the late registration for Novermber ends tomorrow I believe and then you can still take the December test.</p>

<p>Bowdoin’s mid 50%: 660-750 CR; 660-750 M; 660-750 W.</p>

<p>WUSTL mid 50%: 680-750CR; 710-780 M.</p>

<p>You’re fine.</p>

<p>Keep in mind Bowdoin does not require SAT scores.</p>
