<p>Feel free to offer any opinions I would appreciate all the help I could get! Will return the favor!</p>

<p>In at the SUNY schools, and probably colgate. BC, NYU, URoch are matches. Carnegie Mellon is a slight reach.</p>

<p>yeah i think NYU could go either way. your gpa might be a little low and EC's aren't going to blow the adcoms out of the water, except starting the swim team is notable. i think you have a good chance.</p>

<p>Wanna <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/653970-gimme-shot.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/653970-gimme-shot.html&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/p>

<p>Nothing really stands out but my brother had less ECs than you and still was accepted. The starting a swim team looks good too.</p>

<p>I think you definitely have a shot</p>

<p>Woah, didn't realize you started the swim team. I would say Carnegie Mellon is a match then and you are probably in at BC.</p>

<p>In at SUNY's, Colgate, Rochester. Slight reach at BC and Carnegie Mellon due to low GPA. Reach at NYU. Knock the SAT's up to a 2100 and you may have a better shot.</p>

<p>Care to Chance Me?: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/656526-chance-me-brown-i-ll-chance-back-interesting-essay.html#post1061866052%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/656526-chance-me-brown-i-ll-chance-back-interesting-essay.html#post1061866052&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Your GPA isn't as high as it probably could be. The ECs don't really stand out, except for the starting of the swim tea. I think that everything is possible, but with a slight reach at BC, Carnegie Mellon and NYU. </p>

<p>Chance me? <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/654960-chances-uofm-other-schools.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/654960-chances-uofm-other-schools.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Top 3 specialized eh? ;)</p>

<p>Anyway, Bing is going to increasingly harder to get into considering the economy and the average admitted is 90-95. I wouldn't say it's a safety but it's a good match. </p>

<p>SUNY Stonybrook - Safety
Colgate University - Reach
University of Rochester - Match
New York University - Really can go anyway
Carnegie Mellon - Reach
Boston College - Reach</p>

<p>NYU really depends on which school
stern. i'd say its a low reach
but the other schools are matches</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance for NYU because you've got varsity teams under your belt. And your SAT is higher than average for NYU I think.</p>

<p>i'm not sure about the other schools, but for NYU i feel like it's a good match. i've seen people with lower stats than you get into NYU. good luck (:</p>
