<p>Colleges I would like to go to/apply to:
Hopkins (obvious reach) - ED
BC - EA
Villanova - EA
NYU - ED
CMU -ED
UNCCH - EA
state school: W&M - ED
state school: UVA - EA(?)
state school: GMU/ VCU</p>
<p>I also put down which schools have EA/ED.</p>
<p>My top schools I want to go to are JHU, BC, NYU or W&M.</p>
<p>Which schools I have a higher chance of getting in? If there are other schools out there for me if anyone could recommend I would be grateful. thanks in advance!</p>
<p>i’d say you have a pretty good chance at those schools, though NYU and John Hopkins may be slight reaches. your clubs are good and your GPA is nothing bad, so what i would do is maybe retake the SAT (or try taking the ACT if you haven’t) for a higher score. then apply early decision/action to the school of your choice and you might just get in!</p>
<p>I don’t think any are out of particular reach for with your stats (especially your ecs). I would try to bring your critical reading up but your combined avg. is still pretty good. You qualified, you just are applying to very popular schools. Because of that I think it would be very important to strongly convey your passions in your app. Luck!
**ps chance me:)</p>
<p>The downward trend of the GPA rises an eyebrow. I would recommend you do very well first semester of senior year. Your schedule, however, seems strong which is a plus. If I were you, I would retake the SAT just for your CR score; it’s not necessary, though.</p>
<p>As far as chances go, I would say:</p>
<p>Hopkins (obvious reach) - ED – high reach (ed will help)
BC - EA – reach
Villanova - EA – match
NYU - ED – low reach
CMU -ED – high reach (ed will help)
UNCCH - EA – high reach (out of state)
state school: W&M - ED – low reach
state school: UVA - EA(?) – low-mid reach
state school: GMU/ VCU – most likely in/safety</p>
<p>Seems like a great list of schools to me. Your chances have potential to go up considerably if you improve your CR score and perform well first semester of your senior year.</p>
<p>Some others to possibly check into are Denison (OH), Skidmore (NY), Fordham, Bard (NY), Muhlenberg ¶, Oberlin (OH) and Boston University. Best of luck!</p>
<p>Thank you so much. I just wanted some other opinions on what colleges are better for early decision…? Because I heard that early decision isn’t as helpful for the bigger colleges.</p>
<p>And I really like any schools with great international relations majors if there are any out there.</p>
