Answer 1

You're pretty much set for American, Washington and Lee, and NYU. And as long as you have a really good essay, recommendations, and in the case of Georgetown with its required interview, also a really good interview, then you should be fine for NW and Gtown.

Answer 2

Well, I got into NYU on a scholarship with SAT scores 800V 790M 690W. However my GPA was number 2 in my class and I took a total of 7 AP classes over my junior and senior year. All the scores were 4s and 5s except for one 3. I'm assuming you're Korean, which makes it harder to get into any college, unfortunately. With your scores alone though, I would say your chances of getting into NYU are about 75% that you will.

Answer 3

your SAT scores are much better than mine, and I got into American
