<p>Cornell--Match to Slight Reach (closer to slight reach--SAT I scores will be the problem here)
SUNY Binghamton--Safe Match
Carnegie Mellon--Match
NYU--Match
WashU--Slight Reach to Reach
RPI--Match
Boston College--Match to Slight Reach (probably closer to match)
Northeastern--Safety/Safe Match
Villanova--Match</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Cornell takes the SAT OR the ACT+ writing, so they will take your best score, which would be the 30. I think it's a match to high match, but not a reach. Your very similar to me, Good luck :)</p>

4

<p>thanks you both!</p>

<p>and good luck to you grantortue wherever you may be applying :)</p>

5

<p>anyone else wanna chance me?</p>

6

<p>Cornell slight reach
same with BC
probably in at the rest. good luck!</p>

7

<p>yeah BC is kind of my first choice right now (it changes sometimes haha) so I hope I can get in! Such an anxious time!</p>

8

<p>I would say good news coming to you from BC, SUNY, NYU, and CMU; and probably a yes for Cornell and Wash U, but I agree that the SAT I is going to be the issue. I think you will do very well with those choices overall.</p>

9

<p>IMO CR isn't strong enough Cornell and Carnegie Mellon..CR possibly too low for WashU also..Everything else looks like a safety-match</p>

10

<p>Gahh, that darn CR score!</p>

<p>Do you guys think it's easier for me to get into washu or cornell?
I know they're both pretty competitive!</p>

<p>Would it help that I'm from upstate ny? (for cornell)</p>

11

<p>I don't think proximity to Cornell helps.</p>

12

<p>actually I believe it might help if you are applying to a SUNY within Cornell (SUNY CALS, SUNY ILR, or SUNY Human Ecology, or SUNY Vet. Medicine)
in CAS or Engineering, it could actually hurt your chances.</p>

13

<p>yeah, i guess it was more of wishful thinking.</p>

<p>but, should i not send my SAT I scores and just send my ACTs? Would that make me look like a better candidate in general?</p>
