<p>You have a very good app!
BC - Basically a match, no reason you wouldn’t get in but there are plenty of qualified applicants
NYU - same thing really, match.
Brandeis - Low match, not a guarantee but you should get in.
Vassar -high match.</p>

<p>You have a solid shot at all these schools, no reason why you shouldnt get in to any of them in my opinion. Best of luck.

<p>Bc- low reach
NYU- low reach
Brandeis low match
Vassar -“mid” reach </p>

<p>If I get my math SAT score up past 650+, do you think that will tip the scales more significantly in my favor? </p>

<p>@gchats @APsooof OP, some people on here just have had the wrong Brandeis because Brandeis accepts around 35% of it’s applicants. So not only is it selective, but it also costs $63,000 a year to go to Brandeis. It’s a low reach for the OP.</p>
