<p>Thank you all!</p>
<p>Your targets, other than Davidson, Brandeis and maybe ND, are reaches.</p>
<p>OK, we’ll see. It’s weird because I tried **************.com and also tried to match myself on the collegeboard.com lists of uni’s… then I checked out this site and those other sites now seem extremely optimistic. )= </p>
<p>Do you think it’s b/c of my SAT?</p>
<p>huh? the ****'s mean c o l l e g e _ p r o w l e r . c o m
why is it censored?!</p>
<p>btw, I would say Tufts is more of a target than UND…</p>
<p>This website censors other college-related sites.</p>
<p>Anyway, that site is notorious for being overly optimistic. It lists Yale as a “71% Target” for me.</p>
<p>^those other sites do not take into account your race.
affirmative action is bad for us, i’m with you. but just because those are reaches doesn’t mean you won’t get in~! (except stanford. but it doesnt hurt to try)</p>
<p>

<p>Thanks 000ace000
so, do you all think it’s because of my SAT scores or something that’s out of my control?</p>
<p>umm…as a point of reference:
if you can up ur SAT by ~100 points and make sure you have good course rigour in your senior year, we’d have pretty identical stats and activities.
I’m going to Tufts ;)</p>
<p>Congratulations! 
It’s lovely in so many aspects…but is the safety OK?
Make sure to watch a cappella concerts! </p>
<p>yeah, next year will have 5 AP credits/6 AP courses (gov+econ=1 credit) and Wellness.
Thank goodness for no more honors courses! I’ve kinda put them off this year and gotten like 90% (93 is A…)</p>
<p>The school transfer messed stuff up… from 2 years of JROTC at the old school I got p.e. credit, but the new school requires wellness AND p.e. grr</p>
