<p>Planning to apply to SUNY Albany, College of Saint Rose, possibly applying for Macaulay to either CUNY Brooklyn or CCNY. If I don't end up applying for Macaulay, I'll apply at both CCNY and Brooklyn.</p>
<p>Update to volunteer hours: have averaged approximately 100 hours at Planned Parenthood and teaching Spanish in the elementary school near my high school.</p>
<p>Not too sure about the SUNY Albany but if its like Binghamton your ACT is 1 point lower then their median but everything else seems good. You will definitely get into the CUNYs but your a long shot from Macaulay. Im also planning on applying to Macaulay.
BTW as a side note I recommend sticking to the ACT bc its much easier to raise and its equivalent to an 1820.</p>
<p>I agree about the ACT…upping your SATs significantly will be very hard.
Your ECs are strong. I think they show you are a leader.
I don’t know enough about those schools to chance you but I think you are a strong candidate with a decent GPA but your test scores need to go up. Write a good essay that shows you as a hard-working, loyal, leader and that’ll really seem uniform along with your ECs. In my opinion-</p>
<p>well your act and sat scores seem fine for college of saint rose, and I think you’re “in” for that. Same w/suny albany because their middle 50% act ranges from 22-27 and you’re on top of that. you also have a good shot at Brooklyn and not sure about Macaulay. If you could work hard senior year and get a GPA boost, that would be pretty good. Volunteer hours and EC’s will be a help. w/good essay and solid rec’s you’re set bro!</p>
