I would recommend taking SAT I again, because of your Asian ethnicity and the fact you’re applying for financial aid.

lol, you have no hook? I’d say your extraordinary accomplishments in badminton are hook enough. Definitely write about them in college essays!

If you break 2300 for SAT:

Harvard - mid- to high-reach
Yale - mid- to high-reach
Princeton - mid- to high-reach
Columbia - reach
Dartmouth - low-reach to match
Duke - low-reach to match
Georgetown - low-reach to match (unless you capitalize on your involvement in debating, then probably match)
Williams - don’t really know the school, but probably match
Amherst - same as Williams
UChicago - I think match

I’d really appreciate it if you chanced me back
