<p>my parents have ridiculously high expectations, but i’m being realistic. any chance of Ivies?</p>
<p>Your best chance is Brown. I would retake the SAT once again and try to get it higher. You should really go where YOU want to- if I was you I would tell your parents that there are other great school other than the Ivies.</p>
<p>You have a great GPA and pretty good EC’s but you are lacking in your test scores and your EC’s dont show a clear focus. You may have an okay shot at some of the lower Ivies.</p>
<p>I took the SATs once as a sophomore and twice junior year. Would taking it again just be stupid? Or should I just hope for a solid ACT in September?</p>
<p>I don’t think that you should hope for a good ACT score without studying for it. If you put in the time you should be able to boost your scores. You could even take the SAT and the ACT if you felt that wit would give you a better shot.</p>
