<p>The SATs are low for Yale/Brown/Wellesley.</p>

<p>Like geologistrock said, your SATS are low for Yale/Brown/Wellesley and Swarthmore. Smith and Mt. Holyoke are SAT optional which is nice and I think the rest of your Stats make you great fits for both colleges. Good luck!</p>

<p>You also might want to look into Bryn Mawr if you like Swarthmore. It’s in the tri-co and is an all women’s college similar to Smith, Mt. Holyoke, and Wellesley! :)</p>
