<p>I don’t know a lot about the schools that you’re applying to, but your quantitatively you are in a good area for all of these schools. Your ECs are good, especially since you are a prospective business major. </p>

<p>Thanks for the reply</p>

5

<p>mid-high match/low reach for all :)</p>

<p>I dont know much about some of the schools you are applying to, but you have a really good ACT score in my opinion. Maybe just try to get really good grades for your next few years in high school and you will have really good chance. This was basically a free bump lol</p>

<p>Your ACT is incredible since you are still a rising Junior. Your unweighted GPA is a bit low , so try to get good grades next year. Ideal unweighted GPA is 3.75+ but admission officers will look past that if your AP scores are high. Try to take as many AP classes as possible junior and senior year because they consider the rigor of your coursework. You still have time and you already have great scores/extracurriculars, so good job! Now for your chances:
Northeastern : Reach (Bring that unweighted up)
Babson : Match
Emory: Low Reach
U Richmond: Match
Boston U: High Match
Villanova: Safety </p>

<p>Good Luck ! And P.S. Since you want to major in business, you should check out NYU and University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. </p>

<p>@yojackie‌ I have checked out NYU and Michigan but they are not on my list because they are way too expensive. They do not offer much financial aid</p>

9

<p>yes for all but emory, oxford, and boston. You have a chance at them but they may be high match or low reach. Oxford is definitely a reach. </p>

10

<p>Your EC’s and grades look good but i don’t know enough about these schools to make an accurate prediction. Sorry!</p>

11

<p>@rickynext7071‌ The Oxford I am mentioning is the Oxford college at Emory. That is my safety school as it has an acceptance rate of around 60%+</p>

12

<p>Oh, I see. My mistake:) </p>

13

<p>Bump</p>

14

<p>Villanova- match
Boston U- match
Northeastern- reach
U Richmond- high match</p>

15

<p>Universities (in order of preference)
Babson College (ED) match
Northeastern reach
Emory College low mid reach
University of Richmond low reach
Boston University match
Emory Oxford (2 years than Goizueta) unsure
Villanova match </p>

16

<p>Also does anyone know Babson’s ED acceptance rate for class of 2018?</p>

17

<p>Bump</p>

18

<p>I think
Emory high reach
Oxford low reach
Babson low reach
Bu villa north match</p>

<p>In my opinion your GPA and ECs are pretty weak and awards are pretty average for an Indian kid. Remember you are competing with other indian kids as they can only take so many kids of Indian origin. Make sure you apply to all the matches in your list. If you can write good essays then apply to couple more reaches like vandy or washU. </p>

<p>@drsaheb‌ Thanks for your input. The Oxford i was referring to was Oxford at Emory. I do not think I have a chance at Vandy or WashU because my GPA to be honest is horrible at a 3.63 for those teir of colleges. I am probably going to apply to all of the matches on the list.</p>

<p>Babson College (ED)- Not really sure
Northeastern-mid-high reach
Emory mid reach
Oxford Probably a high match, just judging by prestige
University of Richmond match
Boston University match
Lehigh University low-mid reach
Villanova University low match</p>
