I want to major in Sports Management or Sports Marketing (at Oregon).</p>

<p>So I would really appreciate it if I can get some opinions on my chances at these schools. I am considering NYU and Umass-Amherst reaches (b/c Amherst is the hardest Sports Management college to get into and NYU cuz its NYU), I consider Syracuse, St. John's, and Texas A&M as matches. I consider University of Oregon, Fordham, and Cal State Bakersfield as backups. Is that a pretty good guess? I would greatly appreciate any responses</p>

<p>CSU Bakersfield-safety.
Thats the only one I am 100% completely sure about.</p>

<p>Try other CSU's, they are all safetys, and most have a better reputation [such as CSULB,SFSU,SDSU,CSUSLO,Cal Poly Pomona] and if possible, try some UC's, you would pretty much be safety to UCSC,UC Merced, UC Riverside.
Low Match at UCSB,UCI, UC Davis.
Low match/match at UCSD
Match- UCLA, UCBerkeley. Since you are in state. I know these arent what you asked for.
The rest are accurate, I am pretty sure, although I know nothing about St. Johns</p>

<p>Well, if you end up scoring over 2100, I'd say you stand a great chance at NYU and UMass-Amherst. As of right now, I think you have decent chances everywhere else.</p>

<p>how are you in the top 5% of your class and have a 540 SAT reading. that 540 is really gonna hurt you at more competative schools, but your transcript should make up for that. if these are indeed your grades, why are you applying to some schools that are way below you? i think you are significantly above the standards of umass and st. john's. NYU is NYU so it will be competative and there are no guarantees to getting in</p>
