<p>Northwestern - Reach
Syracuse - Match/High Match
American University - Safety</p>

<p>Your GPA pretty much kills your chances at Northwestern. Well, I shouldn’t say kills, but significantly diminishes. You have a very high class rank though, so that’s odd. Your SAT is also pretty low for Northwestern. Communications is very competitive at Syracuse, but I think you have a pretty decent chance given that you’re a URM and have a good SAT, ECs, and course rigor. American is a safety.</p>

6

<p>Northwestern is a reach but I would say that American is a match. Being hispanic might help you a little bit though, good luck!</p>

7

<p>To be blunt, I think you will be rejected from Northwestern. You have a very realistic chance at Syracuse and American though.</p>

8

<p>Northwestern is a reach but being Hispanic will help. You should be fine for Cuse and AU though.</p>

<p>NWU: Reach
Syracuse Newhouse: High match
American: Match</p>

<p>You think UMO is too much for you?</p>
