<p>Non-traditional, urm, cc student here.If I have 40 credits (4.0 gpa) completed by the time I apply, how much will my hs transcript and SAT be looked at it? 2.8 hs gpa, 1440/2400 sat Should I retake the SAT? Here are some schools I'm looking at:</p>
<p>NYU
USC
GWU
U Miami
Johns Hopkins
Yale
Emory
Vanderbilt
SUNY Binghamton, Geneseo
UPitt
Pepperdine
Cornell
Brown
UNC
UVA
Columbia GS</p>
<p>Yes to USC and U Miami. I don’t know enough about the others to comment.</p>
<p>Do you think USC will ask for a spring grade report?</p>
<p>I don’t think you have a chance at Johns Hopkins nor Yale. You’re in at Binghamton. Good chance for NYU (unless we’re talking about Stern.)</p>
<p>That’s all I can really say.</p>
<p>I say no to Vandy, Yale, Brown, Columbia, John Hopkins, and Cornell. The rest you have decent shots at</p>
<p>Do you think if I retake the SAT and score 2200+, that’ll improve my chances significantly?</p>
<p>well, yeah.</p>
<p>i think NYU says that if you’ve already taken the SATs in high school, that they don’t want you to retake it.</p>
<p>Even though you may not get into the Ivy’s you have some very very good schools on there. You’re a great applicant, so you should end up at a decent school, but remember that when it comes to Ivy’s that all applicants are great students. </p>
<p>I have a friend who works at Cornell. He says it is easier than most think. Obviously it isnt a walk in the park, but from the way he made it sound I’m sure its easier than Yale and such. </p>
<p>But schools like UVA, UNC, NYU, USC, Miami, etc are all great schools.</p>
