<p>I’m not sure how rigorous your academics are, but I’d say your GPA and SAT scores will bring you down the most. Gtown, CM, and BC will probably be your reaches just because of your GPA, and Villanova and NYU might be tough too, but again, depending on your school profile, top 18% sounds pretty good, so you might have a good shot.</p>

<p>Course rigor is decent but seriously not the toughest. GPA is kind of low for your ethnicity. However class rank is not bad should put some kind of context behind on your GPA. </p>

<p>Decent set of EC’s. </p>

<p>Are you going for NYU stern? It might be a bit tough to get with your GPA as their average is around 3.75+.
Gtown is definitely going to be a reach, as well as BC and CM. However, I don’t see why you wouldn’t have a decent shot for any of your schools.</p>

<p>@cliffhanger…I really want to go to NYU Stern, but my stats are to low. Do you think I have a good shot at NYU CAS?</p>

<p>God damn, youre practically like me. Sameish GPA, only 1 AP so far which is stats too. 770 in math 2, 1320/1600 SAT. </p>

<p>I applied to PSU, BU, Villanova as targets. My reaches were NYU, umich, georgia tech. Already got rejected from GTech. I’d have to say CMU, NYU BC, Gtown are reaches for you. The rest you have a clear shot on.</p>

<p>Wow! We are similar. LOL that’s funny. Is there anything I can do to make NYU a target/match school.</p>
