<p>H20, why NYU as your second choice? It’s <em>completely</em> unlike Wellesley, in almost every way imaginable. I have a hard time coming up with parameters of “fit” for you that would include both schools.</p>
<p>Fwiw, I wouldn’t be much more optimistic about NYU as they have become a “hot” school as some of the other, more highly ranked schools, have become ridiculous in terms of chances for admission.</p>
