SAT seems low for USC and NYU, but NYU Gallatin might be easier to get into
I think you have a reasonable chance at Villanova and BC

Like the guys above, your GPA is really damn high, and you have a good number of extra C’s, but your SAT does seem a little low, and you don’t have too many APs. NYU and USC do seem like low reaches for the schools you’re going for, but you have a god chance at the others. Chance me back #shamelessselfpromotion

You should be in good shape for all the schools. Just remember though that NJ is a big state and you have to compete to some extent with the other NJ kids that apply to these schools. Santa Clara is a great choice and a place where being from NJ may help you!

Thank you both for chancing me! :smiley:
