<p>Ethnicity: Indian (female) - born in Saudi Arabia moved here at age 2</p>

<p>Applied To:</p>

<p>Penn State University Park
University of Pittsburgh - Already Accepted :]]
New York University (reach, i know, but one of my favorites)
Boston University (heard alot about grade deflation :/)
Northeastern University (my #1 I think, love the co-op)
Drexel University (dont like it much, applied because they let me do it for free)</p>

<p>Please tell me my chances, especially for Northeastern and NYU</p>

<p>I live in Reading, PA but Im pretty sure I dont want to go to a state school. I want a big city (NYC or Boston) and lots of diversity, as I am Indian and PA is full of...white Pennsylvanians (same goes for PSU and Pitt). Not that it is a bad thing, I would just like different types of ethnicities and lots of diversity!</p>

<p>Well I hate to say this, but you probably have a tough time getting into NYU with those numbers.I have the same GPA, and an SAT 100 points higher and I'm a reach. That being said, I think you'll be ok for Northeastern, Penn State, Drexel, and Maryland. Although I'd shy away from Drexel, it's considered to have one of the worst campuses and unhappiest students in the country.</p>

<p>SATs are a bit low for freshman. average accepted gpa is 3.6 unweighted. assuming your 91 is unweighted, you're right on the spot. you have some leadership roles in some clubs, which is good. chances are average.<br>
