Chance me please?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>These are the schools I've been considering among others. Do you think they're accurately placed? I'm afraid I'm overvaluing my sat writing score which is in the 75th percentile for most of these schools, and my gpa is too low to make up for it.
I would like to go into philosophy and then law, so I feel the stronger writing and reading sat scores suit my desired focus in college.</p>

<p>What is your intended major? At Chapman, that matters a lot. We know of several kids with scores higher than yours who were denied admission. And one girl we know was told her math score was just too low (she had a high 500s in math). Any major within the Dodge College of Media, for example, requires top scores.</p>

<p>I think that your aim is just right- though your reaches might be a bit too high (BU might also be a low reach). I think you have a great chance with your matches and safeties though. Good luck!
