<p>psu, uconn, temple. drexel, stony brook, bing, easy in</p>

3

<p>i think u could get into all of those schools easily. You should shoot higher</p>

4

<p>He's talking ba/md, so he's certainly not an "easy in" at all those schools. PSU, for instance, requires at least a 1440</p>

5

<p>my bad ohnoes</p>

<p>hey mo! lol</p>

<p>GW i checked out, they told me 20/400 or so kids get into the combined program. I think u can do it...crazy expensive tho they said 44 grand. It has to be more by the time we get there</p>

7

<p>yeah im doing ba/md guys. so none of these schools is an "easy" in even if regular admission is not that tough.</p>

8

<p>i'd say temple, drexel, and stony brook are matches (bs/md). psu is cutting their 6 year program and umdnj might be a reach.</p>
