<p>You seem well above an “above average student” no offense thats a good thing!!! however, I and other students who aren’t applying to those schools probbbaly won’t be able to chance you as accuratly because we aren’t applying to schools that prestigous! At least for me… ahah I think you might find some more luck on other threads or you could make a completely new thread!!</p>
<p>Sorry could not be of any help!
Best of luck :)</p>
<p>lol compared to the rest of the CC community who are applying to a bunch of Ivies, I’m probably not above average. Just hoping more ppl will chance me here and I like the idea of a thread for average students :)</p>
<p>haha yeah Because there are threads for average students…and threads for the top 10% of students…</p>
<p>Then there are people like me who aren’t exactly average but also aren’t near geniouses. Just caught somewhere in the middle trying to figure out this whole college process!</p>
<p>But like I said, I don’t think I’ll be able to chance you because I am not too familar with all those schools except Binghamton where you have an excellent shot and could consider a safety. It’s more of a match for me!</p>
<p>I think this thread should say a bit above average but not compeitive enough for CC 
like 1700-2000. and then there should be a thread for people that get well over 2000. and then there should be a thread for people who get between 1500-1700. and 600-1500. you know what i mean. this way its better.</p>
<p>hahah oh well, I made this out of whim because I thought we were the awkward kids in the middle who couldn’t post anywhere!</p>
<p>But yeah, as long as no one post heys i got 2450 on my SAT and my school only offers 8 APs and I already took all of them what do I do? then I don’t care hahahah Just don’t want any bragging posts</p>
