<p>what are my chances for each of the colleges???</p>

<p>What’s your senior year course load?</p>

<p>I think BU and NYU are matches</p>

AP Biology
Anatomy
Band
AP English Literature
1st Semester Elective: Psychology
2nd Semester Elective: AP American Government
Software and Game Design I and II</p>

<p>I think your lack of work experience will be okay since you have so much community service</p>

<p>Chances:</p>

<p>BU - Low Reach/Match
NYU - Match
Case Western - Match
JHU - Low Reach</p>

<p>Top 4 Weakness in your application:</p>

<p>**- Better SAT scores needed

  • More focused extracurriculars
  • More leadership in extracurriculars needed
  • Not sure where you stand in class rank
    **</p>

<p>Do you have an idea of what your intended major might be?</p>

<p>im going to do the premed program</p>

<p>BU: Match
Case Western: Match/High Safety
JHU: Reach
NYU: Match/Low Reach</p>

<p>that’s my opinion. I think you need higher SAT/ACT and then you’ll be wanted by a lot of colleges. But you’re already in pretty good shape.</p>

<p>might also look at Holy Cross(don’t have to be religious) has great pre-med program and offers good financial aid. HC has nice campus 1 hour from Boston.</p>
