<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>You are applying to colleges with the 40-70% acceptance rate range.
You would be in the middle to low range of students. So I would say that your credentials are solid though not stellar, and you will likely get in to most of your listed colleges. You may be waitlisted or rejected from NE or Villanova, though.</p>

<p>^^ and i thought NE (Northeastern?) was one of my higher chances...</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>
