Hi! So I’ve tried hard in HS, gotten really involved and done well academically. I was elected president of my senior class, which is super exciting! Do I have a good chance at these schools if I’ve gotten heavily involved, but my test scores are eh? Predicted results would be awesome

Heres where I am applying and what major I’m applying as (some vary at each school)

1. Boston University (COM)

2. Northeastern University (COM)

3. Syracuse University (BUS/COM DUAL)

4. Fordham University (COM)

5. University of Pittsburgh (BUS) (ALREADY ADMITTED!! YAY )

6. University of Vermont (BUS

7. American University (BUS)

8. George Washington University (BUS)

9. Rutgers University (BUS)

10. Boston College (COM)
