<p>your friend really needs to work on getting their sat scores up in order to match the rest of their application...at least in my opinion -- right now i see: bright student who works really hard vs. incredibly smart who does really well in school -- higher sats would move them to that second category</p>

<p>nonetheless, heres what i think:
georgetown: reach
bu: match
jhu: reach
northeastern: match
st. joes: safety
william and mary: match
fordham: safety - match</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>hey thanks for the quick response! yeah my friend is really disappointed about his scores (did not do well on the ACT either, but isn't sending it to any schools). He knows Georgetown and JHU are def. reaches, but I know he would be happy at Northeastern, BU, and definitely William & Mary.</p>

4

<p>bump anyone else?</p>

5

<p>retake SAT's, get them over 2000 if u can</p>

6

<p>William and Mary's not a match for out-of-state at 1880. With SATs >2000, it's closer.</p>

7

<p>he is taking an SAT prep class for the October SAT however I'm not sure if he can get over 2000. i guess we'll see.</p>

8

<p>jhu is still a reach for everybody with >2000 sat... my friend got 2300 sat and he still got rejected. he was a great canidate</p>

9

<p>yeah JHU is tough for anyone. bump anyone?</p>

10

<p>yeah JHU will be tough</p>
