<p>I agree with the above post on the ivies and some other schools being a reach! The ones she labeled as safety and not reaches are what I would have put as well! Good luck and keep up the good work!</p>

4

<p>At least the reaches are reachable…</p>

5

<p>Thank you very much :)</p>

6

<p>Find some matches! You only have easy safeties or reaches.</p>

7

<p>Uh, any ideas that aren’t out of state?</p>

<p>And isn’t it too late to apply to new schools now?</p>

8

<p>Bunp plzzzzzz</p>

9

<p>NYU, Rensselaer poly, Syracuse, Univ of Rochester(my fav.), Vassar. Good luck I think you can get into one of your Reach schools if you can bump up you SAT or ACT.</p>

10

<p>Finding matches is not easy for people with that kind of files; it’s mostly either safeties or reaches for them.</p>

11

<p>If love NYU but I don’t have any money. Part of the reason I didn’t ED. :(</p>

<p>I guess Binghamton 2017 of everything falls through the cracks</p>

12

<p>Geneseo is equally good school and they might give more money. Heard it on CC not a personal experience.</p>

13

<p>To one of the above posters, Vassar would not be a match. It would a reach, albeit less so than the Ivys.</p>

<p>@fatherofm</p>

<p>Let’s hope so!</p>

15

<p>bump again :(</p>

16

<p>11 on essay for ACT. Dunno if colleges care</p>

<p>oh and bump</p>

17

<p>Try a Macaulay if you can…</p>

18

<p>Coincidentally, I did apply to Macaulay Honors ;D</p>

19

<p>You have a good chance there.</p>
