<p>I believe your chances are a low match at Drexel and a slight reach at Northeastern. Boston University and NYU are reaches. Try Emmanuel College (which is in Boston) as a safety. And simmons.</p>

You can try Penn State. I think you really have a good chance there!</p>

<p>drexel yes, but everything else isnt looking good. 530 in math is terribly low and 3.0 gpa is bad. sorry to be blunt but it is what it is. you better have a good explanation for this, and if you want to get into the other schools you HAVE to retake the sat, unless u took it 3 times already</p>

<p>I do have an explanation for the 3.0 (family and personal troubles) but it is not an excuse. I have a 4.0 for my senior year (so far) but that doesn’t matter at all to colleges, as they do not evaluate students based on senior year. As for the standardized tests, I’m taking the ACT’s in a couple of days, so if I do better on those, I will not send my SAT scores.</p>

<p>Boston University-high reach
Drexel University-safety
Northeastern University-high match
New York University-reach
Syracuse University- high match</p>
