<p>You SHOULD get into all safeties and mediums. Dont know muc about NYU, but why would they deny you?Doubtful for the reaches, except Cornell is quite possible.</p>

<p>Thanks~ BumP!</p>

<p>I’d say Columbia, John Hopkins are both reaches, as the above guy said, Cornell is possible.

<p>Hard:

  • Cornell - Possible, I say around 20-30%.
  • Columbia - Low, maybe 10-15%
  • Franklin W. Olin - Not sure about this but probably slightly higher chance than Cornell
  • John Hopkins - Low, 15-20%</p>

<p>Med/Hard:

  • NYU (1st choice) Pretty good chances, I would say 60-70%</p>

<p>Medium:

  • RPI - Match
  • Boston University Match
  • Northeastern Match</p>

<p>Safety: Given

  • UMass Amherst
  • UMass Dartmouth
  • WPI </p>

<p>Chance me back please!!!

<p>The hardest school should be Columbia. I think you have good chance at other ones. You probably are in at those safeties. The medium ones are in your hand and even NYU. You are competitive for NYU. JHU and Olin are within reach because you have solid scores and activities but nothing is too standing out. Cornell is definitely the 2nd hardest school on your list but you are a solid applicant.</p>

<p>Keep up the work and raise your SAT, you should be fine</p>

<p>Chance me back ???

<p>Hard:

  • Cornell - Around 25%
  • Columbia- Around 15%
  • Franklin W. Olin- Olin is mainly about the fit and dedication to engineering. That being said, you definitely need to rock your SAT IIs and take lots of math and sciences courses next year. I would say 40%
  • John Hopkins- 35%</p>

<p>Med/Hard:

  • NYU (1st choice)- 75%. Show dedication and understanding of the school when you apply and you should make it in.</p>

<p>Medium:

  • RPI- 80%
  • Boston University- 75%
  • Northeastern- IN</p>

<p>Safety:

  • UMass Amherst- IN
  • UMass Dartmouth- IN
  • WPI- IN</p>

<p>(Considering you get your aimed SATs)
Hard:

  • Cornell 1/4 chance
  • Columbia 1/6 chance
  • Franklin W. Olin 1/5ish chance
  • John Hopkins 1/4 chance</p>

<p>Med/Hard:

  • NYU (1st choice) You should get it. Careful, I’ve heard NYU FA can be bad (no real knowledge on their FA though, check that out)</p>

<p>Medium:

  • RPI
  • Boston University
  • Northeastern
    ^All should be in. At least a 4/5 chance.
    Safety:
  • UMass Amherst
  • UMass Dartmouth
  • WPI
    All in for sure. Maybe not for sure in WPI, but basically.</p>

<p>Chance back!

<p>I think you have a good chance of getting into NYU but it would be unlikely you would get enough aid to attend if your family can afford only what the income you note typically could. NYU is not one of the schools looking for low income students and it does not meet full need for most. Even kids I know who had ivy stats got at most half of large need met which included large loans.</p>

<p>Your focus should be on schools that meet full need.</p>

<p>Thanks! And yeah, I know BU gives really good Financial Aid so it’s one of my top choices too! Bump! Chancing everyone back right now~</p>
