@StevoMeepo don’t see how I am a reach for babson, Babson website says the class of 2019 average grade was a B+ and the average ACT range was 28-31, my GPA and test scores exceed both standards, and I applied ED. I don’t see how UCLA can be a match, while Babson is a Reach. Same thing with McGill, how can McGill be a safety while babson is a reach?
@KingBibi whats the difference between match and high match? If there is a pretty big difference than some of the colleges you said were high matches were what I was thinking were matches, and some of the ones you said were high matches I was thinking were reaches.
@Sterny16 High match is around 40% chance, whereas match is closer to 50% and low reach 30%.
While you’re above McGill’s minima, Desautels has a 9% acceptance rate and is the single most-competitive faculty in any Canadian school. Babson is also quite picky.
@StevoMeepo I agree with the OP comments in Post #3…apparently you have no familiarity with some of the schools you chanced for OP (including UCLA).
@Sterny16 Ok, I mean babson as a match, I’m sorry in that case. @uclaparent9 Okay, I have familiarity with California schools. It is just an opinion I make from other sources online. We can agree to disagree and I will totally understand your own point of view on this.
@KingBibi thanks for your input, I am a OOS so I would think UNC would be a high match, or is that not the case? Would apply ED or EA give me a better chance for NYU/USC?
@KingBibi Would applying ED to NYU LSP program give me a better chance? LSP has about a 43% acceptance rated compared to CAS’s 26% acceptance rate. Would Applying ED to USC make it more of a match for me as well?
Can you afford NYU if you get in on binding ED? They have very bad financial aid.
@KingBibi I can afford to go to NYU for all 4 years. My parents made a college fund for me when I was younger, and its grown tremendously. Money is not an issue. If I were to apply ED to USC or NYU LSP what percent chance would you give me? Somewhere in the match range? I have a hook for USC but i’ll PM it to you if you think my chances for USC are still high match, rather than a match, if I apply early. Looking at USC’s website my UW GPA is above average (3.75 is the average) , and my ACT converts directly to the SAT score in the 75th percentile (2210). I heard NYU LSP is easier to get into than NYU CAS, so I might just do that if I most likely will get in ED as USC and NYU are my 2 top choices.
Applying ED might improve your chances, but probably no more than 5%. Same for most hooks, unless they’re really compelling.
@KingBibi so what chance of getting in? In terms of percent for USC and NYU- Liberal Studies Program? USC does not have an ED option so in terms of percent what would my chances be for USC RD and ED for NYU Liberal studies program? Sorry for all the questions, just really nervous about colleges.
I’d give you about a 35 to 50% chance at NYU, and a 45 to 60% chance at USC.
@KingBibi Thanks! I would think LSP would be alot easier to get into than USC being that they have such a huge difference in terms of admit rate. On some NYU ED acceptance rates it seems like people with W GPA’s below 4 are getting in.
