<p>Thank you,
Lobzz</p>

<p>You have no chance at any of the colleges on your list (all reach or high reaches), since you are shooting way too high in terms of your college list.</p>

<p>Go to collegeboard.com and start searching for colleges that have SAT averages closer to your SAT results. There is a good college waiting for you.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>funny…i wasnt meant to put Mcgill on here…but why not GW?</p>

<p>Ps: a Mcgill Alumnus told me today that i had a good chance there</p>

<p>Don’t understand why everyone is being so mean (saw your earlier thread too), there is really no need for that.</p>

<p>I think you definitely have a “chance” at the schools you listed, provided you make your application/essays really stand out from everyone else. However, I would definitely look into a few safeties that are closer to your GPA/SAT scores so that if you, in the worst case, don’t get in anywhere, you can have somewhere to fall back on.</p>

<p>You should apply to a state school, and then transfer to one of the better places if you do well there.
You might have a shot at Valparaiso. (It’s really pretty.)</p>

<p>I know for a fact that you’re not getting into Brown, though, sorry.</p>
