<p>I understand that Brown and NYU are essentially impossible reaches. I likely won't apply. </p>

<p>Brown and The University of Newyork are going to be hard to get into ( reach )
Northeastern ( reach )
Emerson ( match/slight reach)
RIC (Match)
URI (Low match)
PC ( Not sure)
BC ( High match)
BU ( not sure )</p>

<p>just my opinion I think you have good chances at some of your picks! NYU is probally the best reach you have ( in chances of getting in) ( if your a newyork resident) Good luck man!</p>

<p>I should have said this from the start, I live in Cranston, Rhode Island.</p>

<p>I’d say that Brown is probably an extreme reach, especially since you will undoubtedly face very high local competition. “JHUEnthusiast” doesn’t seem to know that NYU is a private university and state residency plays no role in admission (or can actually be slightly detrimental). Would you apply to Gallatin or Arts & Sciences? Gallatin is tiny, but quirky - more like Reed or Bard in terms of holistic admissions - and so it might be a perfect fit. I think they’d like your Writing and CR scores, but they’re unpredictable. People with higher stats than yours have been rejected, while seemingly less-qualified ones have gotten in. I’d say that NYU Arts & Sciences is a high match. Emerson is probably a strong match, since they don’t care as much about Math grades and scores (provided they’re not disastrous), and you will not be auditioning. I recommend assembling some first-rate writing samples for them. BU should be a high match, PC a low-mid match, BC a high-match/low reach, URI pretty safe . . . I don’t know much about RIC, but suspect it’s a low-match or safe school for you. Northeastern should be a match, but I’m not sure whether it would be the best fit for you academically or socially - it is strongest in pre-professional programs. Why not try for Wheaton or Connecticut College, if you want to remain fairly close to home? </p>
