<p>Here are other the schools I'm applying to (My highschool only allows 10). I picked the schools mostly for their proximity to showjumping (equestrian) trainers. Ideally, the course load would be lenient enough for me to train and compete professionally on the East coast circuit. </p>

<p>BU
Northeastern
Skidmore
NYU
Sarah Lawrence
PSU
Rutgers
Centenary
Marist</p>

<p>I go to Drexel and I think you have a pretty good chance of getting in. :)</p>

3

<p>the only ones that are a reach(harder to get into based on your stats):</p>

<p>NYU
BU
NorthEasters</p>

<p>your chances of admissions are highely likely for the rest
but dont give up
i have a 3.71 gpa and 2210 sat and was admitted to uc berkeley
so anything is possible</p>

<p>Your stats are great, you shouldn’t have a problem getting in. </p>

<p>I think you’re solid everywhere, but like @caltechdream said, NYU and Northeastern might be more of a reach. I think you’re in at BU. Skidmore, Sarah Lawrence and Marist would provide the easiest access to equestrian opportunities. It would be more logistically difficult from the city schools.</p>
