I think Fordham could be a good match. Northeastern your ACT is a bit low for northeastern it was so competitive this year as they received a lot of well qualified applicants so I think your 29 is going to put you at a disadvantage as I had friends get rejected and or deferred with similar GPAs but higher test scores so I’d say that would be a reach.

@hssenior27 Ok, thank you. Do you think I could also get into GW?

4

@hssenior27 and by applying ED for GW as well, would that help my chances?

5

I think GW would be a high match I could see you getting in and ED will give you a slight advantage. Could you Chance back? http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1851091-chance-me-please.html#latest

@hssenior27 what does a high match mean? And ok.

7

High match basically means you have a good shot at admission but it’s closer to fifty fifty than say a low match or a safety

8

@hssenior27 and are you saying that you think I will get into GW if I apply ED?

9

I think it gives you a better chance at getting in I think you have a good chance at GW applying ED but as its a high match it could go either way
