<ul>
<li>CMU, NW, BU - raise your SAT 1 score to a 2200 and you have a great chance, even 2100s fine.</li>
<li>BMC, SLC, Barnard - again SAT poses a problem. Barnards was 1900-2200.</li>
<li>NYU- cant really tell since i dont know bout it.</li>
</ul>
<p>main probs are SAT retake december??</p>
<p>Thanks for the input, but I don’t think you know much about some of the schools. Some, I totally agree with you. But like Sarah Lawrence doesn’t care about SAT.</p>
<p>New York University (early decision): low reach
Northeastern University: match
Boston University: match
Carnegie Mellon University: reach
Northwestern University: high reach
Bryn Mawr College - don’t really know much about the school, sorry
Smith College: low reach
Sarah Lawrence College: match
Barnard College: match / low reach
Try to improve your test scores and GPA, but you have great EC’s so colleges will definitely still highly consider you despite this.</p>
<p>What is your major? Most of the schools in your list will evaluate your application department vise. Make sure you have ECs that show your focus in your major!</p>

See if you can improve a tad on the test scores. You have a good chance to get into most of these though.</p>
<p>All are reaches. Writing score is not as important as the other 2 portions which are quite low on the 1600 scale</p>
<p>I brought my score up a bit - my superscore is now a 2080.
