<p>Without the URM status, you have no chance with a 2200. But add in the URM and I’d say you will probably get into at least one of the four.</p>

3

<p>you have good test scores, course rigor, sat 2s. since you are 1st generation to college, i would say you have a great chance at getting in somewhere.
good luck :)</p>

4

<p>bump up your SAT and you’ve got a chance at williams. i mean harvard and columbia are nice to dream about, but don’t expect either unless you apply ED to coulmbia. you’ve got a fair shot at pomona.</p>

5

<p>Woah guys. He haf a realistic shot at getting in to at least one of those 4 without URM status, but with it, he has actually very high chances to get in, relative to the acceptance rate.</p>

6

<p>^^^ Agreed. 1510/1600. You certainly picked the best section to get your lowest score.</p>

7

<p>update:
Math 2: 800
Spanish w/ Listening: 790</p>

8

<p>you have a great chance at all, and i’d say in for all :slight_smile: urm + sat + sat 2s</p>

<p>good thing the low score was in writing haha</p>
