be realistic about my chances

<p>Last time I made a post, an overwhelming majority of you believed one thing to be true. Later, the majority was proven wrong.
CC members are notorious for fabricated exagerations or harsh comments. So try and be as realistic as possible if you want to review my stats. (You won't)</p>

<p>I used the common application. These are my stats, tell me what you think.</p>

<p>GPA - 87.5/100
ACT - 28</p>

<p>I am not going to list my SAT score because the majority of you have only taken my SAT score into consideration, completely forgetting my ACT score, which is significantly higher.</p>

<p>I took two SAT 2's in Math 1 and U.S. History.</p>

<p>I live in Long Island, New York.</p>

<p>I went from an 85.5 average freshman year to a 93 average Junior year.</p>

<p>I did not apply for need-based financial aid.</p>

<p>I have a total of 3 APs, taking them all Senior year. Economics (2 AP tests), Calculus, Environmental</p>

<p>I'm Founder/President of the standardized test club. </p>

<p>Secretary of the Reaching Out (community service) club</p>

<p>Many volunteer programs, jobs, after school activities</p>

<p>No sports</p>

<p>Outstanding reviews from every teacher/college alumni/relative I showed my personal essay to.</p>

<p>2 teacher recommendations, 1 recommendation from my boss at the library, and 1 guidance counselor recommendation (I am confident that they are all positive recommendations).</p>

<p>The Schools I am applying to:
NYU College of arts and science (Early Decision)
SUNY Binghamton Harper (Early Action)
SUNY Stony Brook (Early Action)
SUNY Albany (Early Action)
Hofstra (Early Action)
SUNY Geneseo
Syracuse
Cornell University CALS
Boston University College of General Studies
George Washington University Columbian college of arts and science
Saint Johns Queens</p>

<p>I am a prospective student as well, but here are my thoughts.
NYU CAS - Slight Reach
Syracuse - You're in
Cornell CALS - Reach (Maybe if you get your ACT higher you may have a better shot)
Boston University CGS - You're in</p>

<p>good chances.
