I forgot to put Barnard in my title, but it's my top choice.

cross0328

for barnard your scores are just below their average, but you have good extracurriculars. also it looks like your course load is strong and u could handle it fine.
you should get into fordham and rutgers, but nyu will be about as tough as barnard.
colgate and vassar you have a chance. dont know about the rest

plumhill

your numbers are a little low, but if you can make the rest of your application stand out a lot and have a stellar essay you've got a shot.
