Chance me? NYU Stern, UMich, BC, Northeastern, etc.

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hello! It’s my first time posting on here, so forgive me if I’m doing this wrong. I was wondering if any of you could tell me what my chances are of making these schools based on my stats.

I’m applying for business, with an undecided specific major. So overall I realize I have a good SAT score and a lower GPA (compared to “top” students). I have good extra-curriculars and community service.

GPA: 3.75 on a 4.0 scale
SAT: 2230 (680 CR, 760 Math, 790 Writing)
SAT II: 790 in Math; Taking Biology in November
ACT: 31 (pretty bad; won’t be submitting this)
APs: Junior year; AP English I, AP US History; Senior year; AP Psychology, AP English II, AP Biology, AP Calc AB
Grades in General: I’m an A/B student, but Math is not my strongest subject, which might be concerning considering I will be majoring in business. Does this put me at a disadvantage?

ECs:
Have over 300+ hours of volunteering done at my church (leader for camp for kids, praise team leader, fundraiser)
Played violin for about 9 years (first-violinist in competitive school orchestra; all-state orchestra; regional orchestra; philharmonic youth orchestra)
Completed all 8 Grades of ABRSM in Piano
Artist
Highest Honor Roll at Kumon for 8 consecutive years
President of Family Career Community Leaders of America club at school; attended two state-wide conferences and won rewards (1st Place Silver; 2nd Place Silver)
Key Club
Tri-M Music Honor Society
National Honor Society

Essays:
Should be pretty good. They are being reviewed by highly knowledgeable people who know everything about the admissions process.

This is my list of schools I will be applying to:

EARLY DECISION: NYU Stern
Northwestern
UPenn (will probably not make it in; just trying I guess)
UMichigan
Carnegie Mellon
UC Berkely
Northeastern
Boston College
Boston University
Emory University
Penn State
Villanova

Thank you very much!

Major in business at UMich would be Ross pre-admission. It is a reach school because of low admission rate (below 16% last year). However, you can also apply the regular admission after you admitted to UMich before sophomore year. For LSA, your SAT score is within the mid 50 and above average but your GPA is below average. If you are from OOS, it would be a low reach for you.

At most schools you have a good shot. At stern you still have a decent shot, but your SAT is a bit below the avg. Ag is a 1450/1600. GPA is also a bit low, but if you attend a competitive high school that will make up for it.

Good luck

Forgot to mention the average SAT CR+M for Ross pre-admission was 1480/1600 last year. Average admission GPA was 3.89.
