<p>haha just kidding... anyway, I applied EA to BC and was wondering what you think my chances are. Also, if possible, chances to Georgetown, Notre Dame and UPenn. Will I get scholarship money at Northeastern?</p>

<p>Dude, you have a 3.89 gpa and a 2170 SAT with pretty good SAT II's. I think you have a decent shot at all of your schools</p>

<p>A 2170 SAT and 700 SAT IIs is by no means clinching for Penn or Duke. That being said, national writing awards and owning your own business combined with a varsity sport, and some good ECs, give you a great shot.</p>

<p>Best of luck to you.</p>

<p>good luck in Penn and duke, u have potential</p>

<p>Might look at Holy Cross-great academics and athletics. HC is 1 hour from Boston and is similar to ND and Boston College.</p>
