<p>The title may seems strange but it is not, it refers to my general prefernce for schools with blue colors, and the black is bc i’m black.
So what about my chances:
Male
Black
SAT: 790 CR 650 M 630 W (2070)
Rank: 16/526
GPA:5.54 W, 3.86 UW
ECs: Band(2 yrs) Football (2 yrs) Track(1 yr) Debate(3 yr, 1yr captain) English Honor Society (Treasurer), Mu Aplha Theta, Science Honor Society, QM Research (3 summers)</p>
<p>So my chances?</p>
<p>Whoops forgot to list the schools:
Duke
Columbia
Penn
MIT
Harvard</p>
<p>I think you sould retake the SAT and shoot for a 700+ in math and that will put you at 2100+</p>
<p>Once that’s done… it think you’ll get into MIT and probably Duke. </p>
<p>Perhaps up your SAT a little more to get into Harvard. Do 700+ on the SATIIs</p>
<p>Well, i was planning on taking the SAT Math 2 to compensate, i think that i could do better than my original math score, that and English literature which i think i may be able to get about a 800 or close, because i am really good at reading.</p>
<p>You really need to get the SAT scores up (it’s been said, I know). Duke is a match, but everything else is slight reach to reach at the moment. get Math to 700 and your chances become a lot better for the ivies. Add more matches and safeties. UMich, Northwestern, WashU, Boston College, NYU and UMD: College Park (safety) are all big schools that you should look at (I can’t help you with the small liberal arts schools) for safer matches and safeties.</p>
