<p>Well, if your mother is a teacher, you’ll probably get a significant amount of financial aid.
ED Northwestern: You have a great shot. You might want to retake the SATs to get an even higher score, but even still it’s probably a low reach or high match. Like over a fifty percent chance.
RD Northwestern: You still have a pretty good shot, especially if you improve your SATs. Low reach or mid reach. About 50-50.
Columbia - Highly unlikely. Your extracurriculars aren’t phenomenal, and you have little that makes you “stand out”. Also, your SAT is a bit low. High reach. 15-20%
Cornell - If you apply ED instead to Cornell, it’s a low to mid reach. 45% RD it’s a mid reach. 30%
UPenn - I would definitely consider applying to UPenn and the Wharton school early decision. You have a much better chance of getting in, and Wharton is quite a prestigious business school. ED: Low/mid reach, 45%; RD: Mid to high reach, 25%.
NYU: I would be very surprised if you didn’t get into Stern. 70+%
UChicago: It is most likely a high match. 55%
Boston University: safety/in 90+%
Northeastern: safety/in 90+%</p>
