BU - High match
NYU - High match/low reach
Northeastern - High match/low reach

The thing that's really holding you back is your SAT I scores. I'd suggest taking it again and work on your CR section. If you could bring that up to a 700 I'd say those three schools I listed would be matches/high matches.

Chance me back, please: Chance me for UC's, UPitt, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, etc! Will chance back!

Your application on the whole is pretty strong for the colleges youve mentioned. All of them look like Reaches/High matches as of now. All cus of youre SAT Score, get it up by ~100-150 (focus on CR) and youd be good to go !
Otherwise you have a strong resume! All the best!

Chance back please ? Chance an Indian for HYPD + Cornell + MIT? (Will chance back)

Also Im wondering, what does defensive captain mean? Youre a defender and the captain? O.o

Just asking

I think you need 1400 in CR+M for Macaulay's program but I'm not sure. Besides your SATs, I think you're a great candidate!

Babson College: Match
BU: High match
Fordham: Match
Lehigh: Reach
Northeastern: High match
NYU: Low reach
Macaulay Baruch: Reach (regular Baruch is a low match)

What's your safety?

All the schools seem in range.

Definitely bring your CR for more matches (Dec. SAT).

Thank you everyone.

Guy in Blue, no it means I controlled the defense.

Catria: I have other schools such as rutgers, penn state, bryant, bentley, wentworth, rose hulman, and drexel.

if you got a rigorous course schedule within context of your school then you got a good chance at all of these schools. But if you wanna solidify your chance of getting in to any of these then get that SAT up. Try ACT maybe if you still got time

docheck21 · 11-07-2012, 07:16 PM

just take the sat again but make you sure you mostly focus on reading. you should get it around 650-700. besides that, you have a good chance of getting into all the colleges you listed

guyinblue · 11-08-2012, 10:20 AM

Oh I see.
Just focus on doing better on CR, and you'll be good to go!
All the best !
