2

<p>Reaches:
BU
Northeastern
U of Maryland</p>

<p>everywhere else is fairly likely. Definitely apply to all of them, see what happens. and you really really need to raise SATS, then all of those reaches should become more achievable. dont worry, i need to retake SATS as well, it happens :).</p>

<p>LOL, "madden club." That is actually pretty tight. I should consider starting such a club after I get into college.</p>

4

<p>I'd add UMiami, Syracuse, Elon, JMU, and Penn State to the reaches/high matches category.</p>

<p>All of that would change if your scores came up, though.</p>

5

<p>yeah i agree with ses. UMiami and Syracuse are definitely gonna be reaches with a sub 1050 SAT. you're a URM but i don't think an eskimo could get in with a sub 1050.</p>

<p>Yeah madden club is easily one of my favorite high school "experiences." At the end there was a colossal 30-40 man tourny and it was intense to the max. There were 2 tv's set up in the classroom and directly in back of the two players was an entourage of 10+ people cheering and jeering. And the prize for the winner was a replica nfl jersey of the winners' choice. it was amazing, but the only negative was that the tourny was held on the queercube.</p>

7

<p>Anyone else? :-P</p>

8

<p>Your AP scores really don't bode well for improving your SAT significantly.</p>

<p>You'd need to bring it up to about 1900-2000 at least for your reaches in order to have a shot.</p>

<p>Hey were in NY are you from? I'm from the Rochester area..</p>

<p>yea anyways you gotta do the tourny on a PS2 or even better, a PS3, it must have sucked playing madden on a gamecube (btw I would have won that tourney :P)</p>

<p>Good luck getting your SAT scores up :)</p>
