<p>i think you definitely have a great shot at all those colleges. depaul should be a shoo-in, i don’t know anything about university of kansas, i think you should definitely get into washington, probably get into northeastern, and then boston would be the biggest reach. but you have a good shot there as well. your SAT’s could probably be a little better, but i think your ACT score might be better anyway. and your extracurriculars should help, i’d think.</p>

<p>I’m no Dean of Admissions but I’d have to say you have an excellent shot. I was looking at your stats and you looked like you had a good shot but then I noticed you were African-American and I’d have to think that would put you over and almost definitely in. Hopefully you understand what I’m saying because schools love diversity and will let a minority in before a Caucasian or even an Asian person any day of the week. If I were you, I’d feel very good about my chance at every school you listed.</p>
