<p>You don't have to do all of them; Actually, if it's possible, i would like it if you guys were to tell me the Top 10 schools from this list that i have good chances in getting accepted into.</p>

<p>THANK YOU GUYS!</p>

<p>I think you will get into SUNY Buffalo, especially if you’re applying ED (by the way, your school’s grading policy must be different than mine…in my school, that would be around a 3.0 or a 3.1). I think Beloit and Ithaca would be the biggest reaches for you, but I honestly think you have a pretty good shot at all of the colleges on your list.</p>

3

<p>You look good for most of the schools on your list. You could bring up your gpa to clinch the deal, especially at schools like New Paltz where the average acceptance is more like a 88-93 gpa.</p>

4

<p>I know someone with much worse stats than you who’s going to CUNY Hunter. Your gpa is a little low but I’d say you have a very decent shot at those SUNYs.</p>

<p>@reesez, thanks for the chance! hm, that’s weird. At my school, a 3.0=85. And i actually thought Beloit and Ithaca were matches because they have a high percentage of acceptances with my GPA range. </p>

<p>@ Lilymoon, I’m not really crazy about New Paltz. The only reason i’m applying is because it’s a cheap liberal arts college lol. </p>

<p>@Rebeccar, I pretty much consider Hunter to be my safety lol. I know MANY people who go there that barely had 75 averages and had very low SATs(in the 1500’s)</p>

<p>Thanks for the Chances!</p>

<p>You-re right - my bad - I think that they’re both matches for you. I should have phrased it differently: they are both matches, but I think out of all of the schools, Beloit and maybe New Paltz will be the most difficult for you to get into - although i expect you to.</p>
