I think you have a decent shot at GW.
Boston U you will most likely get into too, as admission standards are always lowered for legacies.
NYU might be a bit of a stretch. It’ll just depend on how much better you do on your SAT. Their average is around 2000, so if you can get that (or even 1900) you should be in the running.
Columbia’s rough though. They’re looking for diverse students, and I think you would qualify in that realm. But the applicant pool is really competitive. And they all test outstandingly well.
I don’t think List College is selective. Even if they are, I doubt they care much about your SAT scores. You should be good for that one.
Thanks so much ! Let me clarify that I am not submitting an SAT score to NYU , just my international testing scores.
Also for Columbia, I am applying to a joint program with List and Columbia so I would have to get into both.
