<p>Based upon people I know who applied in the North East I believe you should get into Delaware, Gettysburg and Virginia Tech. I do not have that much info on the others. Gettysburg is SAT optional and I would recommend interview if you think you can present well.</p>

<p>I would say you have a good chance at all of these schools. Especially if you can raise your SAT significantly.</p>

<p>Lafayette and Holy Cross are similar to those schools. Holy Cross has very nice campus 1 hour from Boston and offers accounting.</p>
