<p>INCREASE your SATs. write good essays. thats all you can really do at this point.</p>

8

<p>Ok guys when you are replying to my thread can you please chance me for the schools that I listed.</p>

9

<p>pleasseeee answerrrrr</p>

10

<p>wow this is ridiculous guys please chance me!</p>

11

<p>A safety should preferably be test-optional in your case…</p>

12

<p>I will bump this one last time.</p>

13

<p>I think you would be a perfect match for Temple and Drexel, as well as Fordham and Syracuse. </p>

<p>Can you chance me back?</p>

14

<p>You definetely have a chance for Drexel and Temple, Syracuse along with legacy could be a match as well. Your improvement over the years will show colleges the type of student you are, so I think you are definetely a great candidate!</p>

15

<p>I agree with what the others said. Although your SAT scores are low, your ECs will help you. Your upward trend will help as well. </p>

<p>I suggest trying to take the ACT( it seems you did better on that test) one more time to try to improve your scores.</p>

16

<p>Late to the party, but I think you could get into Syracuse, especially if you improve your SATs. I’m not sure about the rest just because I have less experience with them.</p>
