<p>Boston College - not sure</p>

<p>Bucknell - not sure</p>

<p>College of New Jersey - not sure</p>

<p>Lehigh - not sure</p>

<p>Northeastern - This seems like a match for you, maybe even a high match. Your stats are pretty good. The only problem is the rigor of your courseload. AP classes can really mean a lot. However, if your school only offers a handful of APs, this may not be as big a hindrance as I am predicting.</p>

<p>Penn State - UP - You’re out of state, and University Park takes only really phenomenal students from out of state. I think this would be a reach for you. I’d imagine your stats - or better - are what get IN STATE students into University Park.</p>

<p>Rutgers NB - You’re in state, so you’ve probably got a really good shot, but I’m not well-versed in Rutgers admissions.</p>

<p>University of Delaware - I think you’re pretty much in at the U of D. You are a perfect candidate for them.</p>

<p>University of Maryland - College Park - Again, probably a reach or a high match. Pretty top notch kids from in-state sometimes don’t get in at College Park - it’s getting increasingly competitive.</p>

<p>University of Michigan - not sure</p>

<p>University of Virginia - This is a big reach for you. It is the cream of the crop IN state. Again, you have a great application, but I think your courseload is going to play a role here. I suspect denied.</p>

<p>University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill? They can only accept 18% of students from out of state. Those students probably have much better SAT scores and more rigorous courseloads. I hate to say it (I feel like such a downer…) but this is a reach as well. When you apply to public schools in other states, you really have to be the BEST candidate. You’ve got a great application going for you, but it isn’t other-state public flagship worthy, just because of the way those schools operate.</p>

<p>University of Pennsylvania (big reach) - It can’t hurt to try…</p>

<p>University of Florida - not sure</p>

<p>University of Miami - not sure</p>

<p>Villanova - Not entirely sure, seems like a match, though.</p>

<p>does your high school offer a large number of APs or only a few? Because you only took a couple of APs, your schools offerings may affect your chances at some of these schools.</p>
