<p>Drexel would also be a reach while maryland and northeastern be a high match. BU is also a reach</p>

<p>northeastern is the only one I know of, and you would need a higher gpa and sat to stand a decent chance of getting in.</p>

<p>chance me?

<p>What I would STRONGLY suggest is to make sure your grades are on an upward trend ESPECIALLY since you are taking tough courses. Also make sure you spend time on your ECs as well without sacrificing your grades. Unfortunately, since you haven’t show continuity in your ECs, it may hurt you :-/. So I suggest continue doing rugby and do some other community service involvement or join school clubs. Last but not least, get good recs and write good essays. If you can do this, you will be just fine :-).

<p>drexel would be a low reach/high match
northeastern/bu seem to be one in the same, numbers wise, so I’d say reach</p>

<p>not so sure about the others</p>

<p>chance me please, too</p>

<p>Your transcript is impressive (especially the leap in junior/senior year), but your GPA is weak, very few EC’s, and SAT isn’t that strong. Regardless, good essays/recs will help you out at most of these schools. Here are my chances:</p>

<p>Northeastern: Match-Reach
Boston University: Low-Reasonable Reach
Maryland: Match
Penn State: Match-Reach
Boston College: BIG Reach (I’d suggest replacing this, your GPA/SAT are way off the mark; perhaps switch for UDelaware or Ohio State?)
Drexel: In</p>

<p>Hope this helps!! Plz Chance Me Back!! (2.0 thread)</p>

<p>boston college is a reach but with the right essay you could increase your chances</p>

<p>but I think Drexel College, Northeastern, and BU are in the bag</p>
