<p>Just wondering my chances at these schools:
George Washington University
American University
University of Maryland - College Park
Northeastern University
Boston University
UConn
UMass - Amherst</p>
<p>Thank you all.</p>
<p>hmm UMASS Amherst you are a shoe-in (my brother applied there with like a 2.7 and no SAT and got in but chose to go elsewhere), UConn, also quite likely, and though I can't speak on great authority B.U. and Northeastern are pretty good matches though not certanties.</p>
<p>i think gw and bu would be reaches</p>
<p>thanks a lot guys. yeah, i was planning on gw and bu being my reaches, and umass being my safety. any other input would be great appreciated.</p>
<p>sorry to bump again, just looking for some input.</p>
<p>i know a lot about university of maryland - it's excellent as far as public state schools go, and if you were in-state i would say you would have a good chance as they accept a ridiculously high number of maryland applicants (with worse stats than you). as it is your gpa is a little low (incoming frosh have an avg. gpa of 3.8). As you have taken mostly AP courses and have gotten Bs and As it seems, don't worry about not taking the tests - they don't get those scores until after you have been accepted, anyways.</p>
<p>Anyways, UMCP would be a pretty good match, I think.</p>
<p>thanks a lot, any more?</p>
