<p>nice credentials but all those schools you listed are a reach. What I mean by that is that none of those are gauranteed for you, there is the chance you may get denied to them or most likely i think you could get waitlisted. I think if you raise your SAT to 2200+ then you have brought yourself into intense competition but the score must rise. Out of your list, i think Duke will accept you, but the rest is not known at all. You could get in, possible waitlist, maybe denial…can’t be predicted.</p>

<p>you should put a couple safeties in there…I’m not saying your not competition, just that its always hard to tell with those schools. Lots of kids in my class with 1500+ SAT, 4.2+ gpa with excellent records still got rejected and waitlisted to top colleges. Its a mystery never to be revealed lol</p>

<p>How are you taking that many classes in your senior year?</p>

<p>well, some of those listed are one semester classes, and I’m taking one or two outside of school, such as EPGY. Obviously I wish that I could raise my GPA , but i’ll have to work w/ it for now… :(</p>
