<p>bump, anyone?</p>

<p>I try not to chance. But, I'd suggest getting more match/safeties.</p>

4

<p>Oh yes I definetly agree. I'm still a junior so I have time to find other ones I like since most of that list falls into the low-high reach area. Here's how I see it at this point in time</p>

<p>Matches (low to high): Northeastern, BU, Michigan
Reaches (low to high): CMU, Tufts, JHU, Cornell</p>

<p>Any of those thoughts out of line?</p>

<p>If you study or take a course on sats, i'm sure you can get higher scores if you wanted to. that might help. also add matches and safeties.</p>

<p>Thanks for replying asdfjkl1 and janemac :)</p>

<p>Last bump...chances from anyone?</p>

7

<p>If you like JHU, apply ED and you should get in.</p>

<p>IMO, retake bio sat 2. It will help improve your portfolio. Also, write a good essay and GET VOLUNTEER HOURS. Some of those schools weigh that heavily.</p>

<p>Green1, can you give a little bit more info about your stats. Do you have any volunteer hours, leadership positions, awards, etc?</p>

<p>With what you have down, I would agree with your current rankings. I don't know too much about Carnegie Mellon or Northeastern, but as for the others:</p>

<p>JHU: high reach
Cornell: reach
Tufts:reach
UM: medium-slightly high match
Boston: just below a medium match</p>
