<p>wow, impressive… and as a fellow DECA member, state president? impressive! haha, did you go to Anaheim last year? that was awesome :slight_smile: anyway, everything about your transcript is stand-out, but the SAT’s are a killer (50-60 points higher, you’re in great shape):</p>

<p>BC: ED: Low-Reasonable Reach
Georgetown: BIG Reach (one of the best schools in the country)
Bentley: In
U Miami: Match
U Delaware: In
U New Hampshire: In
UMASS Amherst: In
Wake Forest University: Match-Reach</p>

<p>nice list!!</p>

<p>You look good academically except for your SAT scores. Those are kind of low for Boston College.</p>

<p>Boston College (Poly Sci):
Great shot, though a 2000+ would’ve been better, but I’m sure the other parts of your application (great ECs) will help you stand out! Also, being first generation is a great hook!
Georgetown University (G’town college, political economy):
Reach, mostly because of your test scores.</p>

<p>amr2014, yes I was in Anaheim! Wasn’t it awsome?? I can’t believe I’ve found a fellow-DECA member!!</p>

<p>I know my SAT’s will be my downfall, I fall middle-lower end of their middle 50%, I really would have liked to break 2000 but I’m hoping my EC’s and leadership positions will make up for it on the other end. That’s a main reason why I chose to apply Regular, because I knew those scores would knock me out of their “top applicants” in Early.</p>

<p>As for Georegtown, that’s my ultimate reach especially because of my SAT scores but I know that’s a complete crapshoot! ha ha… Crossing my fingers for BC :)</p>

<p>Thanks to everyone who chanced :slight_smile: You guys gave great feedback!!!</p>

<p>I think you can get into BU with those. The GPA will make up for the SAT score on a sliding scale. UNH and Umass are definite Ins.</p>
