<p>I want to go into politics, probably international. </p>

<p>Chances for:
Columbia (ED)
NYU
Barnard
Georgetown</p>

<p>I do have other schools on my list, of course. But any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated (especially matches)! =)</p>

<p>Thanks for your time!</p>

<p>If you can get your ACT scores up, I think you have a really good chance at any of them...columbia probably a little higher reach than the others, but you have good extracurriculars and rigorous high school courses/aps</p>

<p>Get all 700s on SAT IIs and a 32 or 33, then match for NYU. Low reach for Gtown and Barnard. reach for Columbia (it's an ivy man)</p>

<p>Thank you very much!! Anyone have any ideas for matches?</p>

<p>Hey, I'm happy to chance you if you chance me: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/538677-please-chance-me-i-d-really-really-appreciate.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/538677-please-chance-me-i-d-really-really-appreciate.html&lt;/a> </p>

<p>Anywho, great GPA! Tough courseload is good for you and it shows that you enjoy challenges by going to a local college for summer classes. You also have decent ECs . The downside is that your test scores are weak, especially for Columbia. Try to up the ACT to around a 32 at the very least. Your Lit is fine because it is above a 650. Instead, you can take other SAT Subject Tests that you feel comfortable with. </p>

<p>Chances:
- Columbia - Far reach
- Georgetown and NYU - Slight reach (up the ACT to boost chance)
- Barnard - don't know</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
