<p>Your resume is impressive and I would say you have a very good chance at all these schools. Fordham is a definite and NYU is close to definite. You can never be sure about your other choices, but I think your chances are very good. They are all great schools though I am very partial to Vanderbilt. What weapon do you fence with? Do you fence in Naussau or Suffolk? Best of luck!</p>

3

<p>Great resume and GPA, scores are in the mid 50% but the lower end, i’d say you have a good shot. Obviously i think Vanderbilt is the best choice.</p>

4

<p>you seem to be a well-rounded applicant with very good taste in schools.</p>

<p>definitely in at fordham & nyu.</p>

<p>very likely at emory and tufts.</p>

<p>less likely at vandy, jhu & georgetown. you are at the lower end of the accepted range (SAT & ACT scores) at those schools, but college admissions is a crap shoot and getting into all three is within the realm of possibility.</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

5

<p>Where are you from? Believe it or not, location makes a huge difference.</p>

6

<p>Fordham-in/safety
NYU,EMORY-most likely in…low targets/safety
Tufts, Vandy-target/low reach
georgetown/hopkins-reaches but you have a shot, just low sat/act scores for these schools</p>
