<p>I think you have a chance, for most, but tbh, it’s not that high for the top ones because I don’t see anything in your EC’s that really shines. For your matches and safeties I think you’re mostly fine though</p>

<p>Thanks, Blarghle. Oh and I would very much like to major in Econ. How much would my SAT scores have to increase to go to one of my reaches?</p>

4

<p>Your reaches are kinda out of range because of your test scores (you need closer to 2200/33)</p>

5

<p>OK. Nice to know I am thinking realistically. Anything more besides scores that I could do to increase my chances. The econ at Carnegie is great though so…</p>
