2

<p>please chance me i will chance you back</p>

3

<p>NYU: low reach.
Northwestern: Reach.
Marquette: In.</p>

<p>Good luck! I hope you are successful with all your applications :)</p>

4

<p>Yours ECs are awesome and should make up for your “lowish” GPA.</p>

<p>I agree with the assessment above me, but I would call Northwestern a mid-reach.</p>

5

<p>ahhh yay!! hahah that just made my night. I know its a reach i just want a shot</p>

6

<p>yeah, nice ECs. I like the refugee family, and that you are the president of an org. NYU should not be much of a reach. Marquette, obviously in, but Northwestern might be a bit of a reach as well…</p>

7

<p>hmm
NYU: reach
Northwestern: reach
Marquette: IN</p>

<p>Great ECS…man i wish i had your ecs :frowning: LOL
Good luck! Saint Louis to NYU/Northwestern would be amazing…wow :D</p>

8

<p>anybody have any idea whether sending in my app now with NUs rolling admissions will hurt my chances of them looking at my second semester grades?</p>

9

<p>your ECs and volunteering look good and could make up for your GPA. NYUs a possibility, NUs a reach</p>

10

<p>NYU is probable…but your scores are quite low.
Maybe your EC make up for it? Maybe, maybe not.</p>

11

<p>my gpa is low but my act is on target for NYU isnt it?</p>

12

<p>Marquette - you should be good.
Northwestern - very iffy. You need to improve that GPA, no excuses, just do it.
NYU - no. Same reasons as Northwestern.</p>

<p>Great ECs, as for your schedule I would get rid of Art and/or Radio and try to do another AP or something if you can.</p>

13

<p>well those were in high school so i dont have any time for that now haha but thanks for the reply. </p>

<p>ps i like the just do it. your right</p>

14

<p>God! I would say apply to more university! Why do not you do that?</p>

15

<p>any ideas for that range of school (my parents will only let me transfer if I get into a really superior school ie. applying to marquette was a waste…b/c I have a huge scholarship at slu)</p>

<p>Seriously ANY ideas.
i want a good pre-med program, diverse, urban</p>

16

<p>Thanks for the chance! So firstly our GPA is a tiny it low, but your ECs make up for that perfectly.</p>

<p>NYU: low reach.
Northwestern: Reach.
Marquette: In.</p>

<p>Maybe apply to more colleges?</p>

17

<p>Thanks for the chance</p>

<p>Northwestern- Mid Reach
NYU-Mid Reach
Marquette-In</p>

<p>Great EC’s, gpa is hurting you…</p>

18

<p>bump bump bumpe</p>

19

<p>To repay the favor…</p>

<p>Solid ECs but low test scores and GPA.
NYU-low reach
Northwestern-low reach
Marquette-definitely in</p>

20

<p>Like people said, great ECs! Lowish GPA, but if you can get some major awards in the area I think that will cover up the grades a bit. I think essays are also very important in your case! Flaunt your ECs and explain your grades :D</p>
