2

<p>bump</p>

<p>btw my high school is public</p>

3

<p>any feedback???</p>

4

<p>I forgot to mention my classes
All major classes are honors level</p>

<p>no APs (even though 8 or 9 are offered)</p>

5

<p>No BU?
Also, I live right near Nova and I keep hearing awful things about the biz school. I heard the kids are extremely pretentious (Nova’s a great school, but bragging about going to biz school at Nova??? cmon)</p>

6

<p>I’m not really interested in BU becuase it does not really have a campus. (other than Boston obiously)</p>

7

<p>That’s pretty silly, but that’s your choice. The general area is exceedingly nicer than Nova’s and Northeastern’s.</p>

8

<p>Maybe ill look into it more</p>

<p>any feedback on my chances at the other schools?</p>

9

<p>Reach for Lehigh and Wake. Pretty much on average with Nova. Everywhere else you should have no problem.</p>

10

<p>wow you have A LOT of community service</p>

11

<p>are lehigh and wake high reaches?</p>

12

<p>any thoughts??</p>

<p>also is UNC-Chapel Hill Business School a major reach?</p>

13

<p>Your chances are ok I guess, but just one thing, don’t you gain money for being an umpire?</p>

14

<p>you get about $30 a game for umpiring. I don’t think colleges really take umpiring into consideration but i listed it anyway.</p>

15

<p>bump…any more feedback</p>

16

<p>does not taking any APs hurt my chances at getting into some of the better schools on my list. (my school offers about 10)</p>

17

<p>UNC would be a reach oos</p>

18

<p>i don’t really see a theme or a passion in your application. you seem like ur all over the place. pick the things ur passionate about and put those first.
for test scores, you look ok. i mean nothing special but ur in the 25-75 i think for most of those schools</p>

19

<p>if it’s not too late, get into some more AP classes - especially for senior year when colleges won’t see that you didn’t take the AP exams (i’m probably not gonna take any and i’m in 4 or 5 AP’s). UNC oos is pretty hard to get into from what i’ve heard because by law they have to have 82% instate.
how do u feel about ur sat scores? i think if u got up in the low-mid 1300’s u’d raise ur odds BIG time at most of those schools.</p>

<p>chance me too?
