<p>Please Chance me for the following schools:
Boston College
Georgetown
Cornell
UNC-Chapel Hill
NYU
Columbia
Boston University
Fordham</p>
<p>Given your URM status I would say in at Fordham, BU, NYU, BC and UNC and possibly G-town...reaches are Cornell (which I think is very possible especcially if you raise that ACT) and Columbia. </p>
<p>The kid above me doesn't know what he's talking about...maybe for Columbia (the best of the three), no to Gtown and Cornell....maybe to NYU, yes to BC????</p>
<p>Boston College - match
Georgetown - reach
Cornell - high reach
UNC-Chapel Hill - match/loww reach
NYU - reach
Columbia - HIGH reach
Boston University - high match
Fordham - match</p>
<p>another issue: are you a citizen yet? because if you are looking for financial aid, colleges usually don't give a lot (or anything) to those who are not US citizens
but, honestly, with those test scores, I dont think you have a good chance at the ivies</p>
<p>nesh1080 - It depends on what major and where you live etc.
At my school only one person gets accepted to NYU each year, while there are 5 that get accepted to BC. Also more people apply to NYU.
In my opinion and from what I've seen, NYU is much more selective.
Things might be different in every school, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion and not only yours is correct.</p>
<p>Okay let me rephrase: based on sheer statistics provided by both schools, BC is slightly more selective than NYU...obviously some schools at NYU are a lot more selective than BC (mainly Stern and Tisch - though Tisch isn't really as numbers orientated so it is hard to compare). </p>
<p>So if diniz777 is applying to any school at NYU other than Stern or Tisch, his chance of acceptance at NYU is slightly greater than that of BC again using statistics provided by both schools. When providing chances, I assumed you were applying to CAS at NYU, if you are applying to Stern your chance of acceptance would change obviously.</p>
<p>And peachsnapple, I don't think comparing the schools based on the number of kids accepted from your high school is an effective way to compare as it neglects the academic and overall quality of the students involved.</p>
