<p>Based on your current test scores, I think your reaches are too reachy and your targets are a little high. Raise your scores and I think you’re in good shape. </p>

<p>I think Dickinson is test optional, so that may a good choice. (Although, you might be required to submit scores for aid.)</p>

<p>Good luck. :)</p>
