NYU/George Washington/UCD: High Match
Columbia/Claremont McKenna: Reach
BU/Occidental: Match
American/Williamette: Safety
I would try to eliminate 1-2 of your reaches and replace with Matches. Possibly UCI/USB?
Sorry didn’t see BU or American. I think you are in good shape with Matches and Safeties.</p>
<p>@Gumbymom @DaneBrick Thank you! would it make any difference if I apply as undeclared rather than a poli sci or public policy major to any of the schools?</p>
<p>whoops forgot BU and American
BU: match
American: safety
I don’t think the major thing will have a great influence</p>
<p>I personally think if you know what major you intend to study, then you should declare. Most students will change their mind at 2-3 times during their college career, so you have ample opportunity to change… I do not think going in undeclared will make a difference if you are accepted or not.</p>
