I just wanted to know my chances for these schools and whether I’m overestimating myself and should apply to less rigorous schools.
No i would say you have a decent shot at all of these schools. NYU and BU might be more on the upper end for you though.
Yeah, I thought so. Those are more my reach schools though, so we’ll see what happens. Thanks for the reply!
Haha no this is a perfect list. Except might want to add one more match and one more safety just in case. You’re certainly not aiming too high
Colgate and Lafayette are definitely not safeties for you either, not as familiar with Binghamton’s stats but you need safeties for sure on your list - you are not a slam dunk at any of those schools to be honest and if you follow CC much you’d see how often kids with stellar stats get WL or rejected from so called match schools - so I’d add 2 or so actual safeties to your list.
I think you have a great list, but as mentioned you should add 2 - 3 match schools (I assume that Binghampton is yur safety).
For matches, how about 2 or 3 of Syracuse, Fordham, GW. American, Elon, UMiami? If you want to add another safety maybe another SUNY or CUNY school or Hofstra/Adelphi?
honstly you are reaching WAY too high. you only have a 30 on the ACT for gods sake. The only school that u will get in2 is Trump U. LOL join the army bro
