Chance Me Please Class 2013

I am a junior wondering thinking about NYU and similar schools (Tufts, Georgetown, Penn St Schreyer, Cornell, UVa, Boston U, Wesleyan (CT), CMU, Johns Hopkins) . Anyone please feel free to comment on my chances at any of these schools or others that I should look at.

Looking to go into business

Will have taken total of 5 AP classes after junior year (human geo, euro, us history, AB calc, physics) and another 4 AP classes senior year. (am gov, macro econ, phys 2, stat)

Ranking: Not yet calculated, should be around 15/330 or top 5%

You have good chances for Georgetown, Hopkins and Cornell

You have very good chances for NYU, Tufts, Wesleyan and CMU

You should get into Penn State and BU, hands down.
