<p>slaking junior year is no good :frowning:
GPA is low for most schools - to improve chances for most schools get that up this year
almost all are high reaches except BU and PSU(low match/safety) and Rochester and Syracuse which are probably matches. Good Luck - Mr.HS</p>

<p>Chance me back at [thread=832526] Chances for Ivies, LACs, and bears, oh my! [/thread]</p>

<p>Honestly, although your gpa is low… Your scores and grades reflect that you’re capable of learning great things. I think colleges definitely consider th potential in students… They know that you’ll have a different perspective in college. </p>

<p>Syracuse Rochester and PSU are shoe-ins for you…</p>

<p>I think you’ll get into NYU and probably BU… As for JHU and Columbia… They’re reaches… But not as far as you may think… Good luck!</p>

14

<p>like others have said, low GPA but otherwise a strong applicant. Unfortunately most of these schools do see GPA as an important aspect of the app, so:
Boston University - low reach
Syracuse University - match
Columbia University - HUGE reach (make sure your essays/recs are IMPECCABLE and you’ll have a good shot)
Carnegie Mellon University - reach
Johns Hopkins University - high reach
University of Rochester - in
Penn State University - in
New York University - low reach</p>

<p>thank you!</p>

<p>Everything seems strong except for your GPA. Like the poster above said, slacking off junior year is not good but its all good :wink: I think other factors in your app make up for GPA like ur test scores, courses, and clubs. I think NYU, Carnagie Mellon, and Columbia are all reaches but you should still apply if you want to! The others would all be matches imo.
Plz chance bakc!<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/832418-i-know-i-have-no-chance-but-why-not-chance-me-anyway-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/832418-i-know-i-have-no-chance-but-why-not-chance-me-anyway-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
