<p>Vandy, Hopkins, COrnell, all reaches. Bucknell is match-slight reach. Rest is good though, good luck!</p>

<p>BU: Low fit
Bucknell: Low reach
Cornell: Reach
Johns Hopkins: Reach
Lehigh: Lock
Northeastern: Lock
Rensselaer: Match
RIT: Match
Rutgers: Lock, if you’re in-state, otherwise match
Stevens: Never heard of it
Villanova: Lock
Vanderbilt: Low reach</p>

<p>NESocSciMan, I am from NJ. Stevens Institute of Technology is a pretty small school in Hoboken, NJ(across the river from NYC).</p>

<p>Thanks guys! Any other input would be greatly appreciated.</p>

5

<p>I say that it is a low reach to a high match for Hopkins…otherwis I agree with NewSocSciMan</p>

6

<p>I say that you are pretty much in Stevens if you don’t mess up the interview.</p>

7

<p>Thanks! So where does “fit” fall in the safe/match/reach model?</p>

8

<p>fit is a match, maybe slightly closer to the reach side, but basically a match.</p>

9

<p>Gotcha. NESocSciMan, do you really think Lehigh and Villanova are locks while BU is a fit?</p>

<p>Might want to look at Holy Cross-SAT optional and similar to Bucknell and Villanova.</p>
