<p>by the way that gpa is unweighted. i dunno what my weighted will be.</p>

3

<p>your gpa make everything look like a great shot, and columbia maybe</p>

4

<p>your scores are similar to mine with a lower gpa...</p>

<p>you should be in at northeastern and nyu.</p>

<p>brown is a reach and columbia is a big reach</p>

5

<p>Agreed. Brown is a reach, but it's probably your best Ivy shot. Columbia is more of a reach. The catch with both is they only admit about 10% of their applicants, and the competition for admission to both of these schools is tough. I'd say you have a 10 to 15% chance at both. On the other hand, you should be accepted at both Northeastern and NYU, unless you applied to Stern, in which case your chances at NYU probably drop to 50/50.</p>
