<p>@DaneBrick thanks, but I was looking for either an accept, reject, or waitlist for each school haha. I’m already fully aware of my reaches, matches, and safeties (I consider Rider a safety).</p>
<p>Another thing I left out: my parents had high-paying jobs when I was a toddler, so I have a huge college fund as a result. Therefore, I will be full pay ANYWHERE.</p>

<p>A lot of these OOS schools are becoming more and more competitive. With you GPA, no matter what the circumstances are, it will be very hard to get in. Also, SUNY schools give very poor financial aid to in state students. It will be worst for OOS students.</p>
<p>@Jay2631 @AnnieBeats guys, again, I’m looking for Accept/Reject/Waitlist. I know what my matches, reaches, and safeties are. And I have indicated in a previous post on this thread that I’d be full pay ANYWHERE.</p>
<p>Fordham may now be added to the chance list.</p>
<p>@AnnieBeats your response is not at all useless! I just wanted to get admissions predictions rather than the standard reach/match/safety. I really like hearing analysis and the opinions of others who are on the outside. Thank you very much for your chance! :)</p>
<p>UMass: Reach
Bentley: Reach
Quinnipiac: Match
Hofstra: Match
Binghamton: Reach

None of them are impossible or outrageous! </p>
<p>You have an interesting situation there. What grade are you in btw? You should try to increase your gpa next semester if you can to show the colleges that it was truly the given circumstances that kept you from your best.
Northeastern-reject
Umass-accept maybe
Boston college-reject
Hofstra-accept
Binghamtom-reject maybe
William patterson/clark/stetson/rider-dont know the school
Bentley-close acceptance
Quinnipiac-accept</p>
<p>@IVCUSA11 I’m a rising senior. The schools that I’m applying to EA won’t see my 1st semester senior year grades unless I’m wait listed by them. Thanks for the chance! :)</p>
<p>Scenario: take Boston College, Clark, Stetson, and William Paterson off the list, and replace them with Fordham and Monmouth. Chance me now? :)</p>
