<p>bump........</p>

3

<p>did you apply ED to Cornell?</p>

4

<p>I did not apply ED to Cornell. I am not in a position to potentially bind myself to one school.</p>

<p>I have legacies at PC and can go for free if the Fin. Aid money is not right at my first choice schools.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any opinions on my chances???</p>

5

<p>How about Georgetown and William and Marry.
I hear that Georgetown has a beautiful campus.
Would those two schools be a reach for me?</p>

6

<p>Georgetown is a reach</p>

7

<p>Georgetown is a match</p>

8

<p>Since you are out of state, William and Mary might be more difficult. But your scores are high, and if you do have the solid essay that you say you do, I think you'd have a good chance in the admissions office. Never know with those schools though, they have to take something like 65% from Virginia..</p>

<p>What do you guys think my chances are at:</p>

<p>Cornell
Boston College
New York University
Lehigh
RPI
Providence College
U of Rochester</p>

10

<p>does anyone have good educated guesses as to what my chances would be at the schools above ^^^^^^</p>

11

<p>How much easier is it to get into NYU(CAS) than NYU(STERN). Do you guys think I would have a good shot at NYU(CAS). I would most likely apply with an anticipated major in mathematics and minor in their Pre-Business studies program.</p>

12

<p>Does anyone know???</p>

13

<p>A LOT easier.</p>

<p>Cornell - Reach
BC - Moderate reach
NYU - Moderate reach
Lehigh - Moderate reach
RPI - Match
Providence College - Match/safety
U of Rochester - Moderate reach</p>

14

<p>what's this bump everyone keeps saying?</p>

15

<p>It is used to "bump" your thread to the top of the list.
Anyone else have any predictions on my chances, especially NYU(CAS)</p>
