Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I've applied to Villanova EA as a legacy applicant (my cousin attended for undergrad and law school). I'm a white, upper-middle class male from southern NJ. Thanks in advance!
I've been accepted to Rutgers Arts & Sciences EA, but am still waiting on a decision from the business school.
I've also applied to Penn ED - my dream school, but a long shot (to put it generously). </p>

<p>Also, I know penn and haverford are big reaches.
I think Hopkins and BC are slightly lower reaches.</p>

3

<p>GPA and class rank are fantastic. Definitely try to get test scores between CR/M to a 1300+ minimum. Maybe get another safety or two on your list. Good luck!</p>

4

<p>I have a 1270 combined CR+M, according to the act concordance chart, which is better than my measly 1200 combined for th SAT. Any safeties that you’d recommend?</p>

5

<p>Well you said you’ve already been accepted to Rutgers, which is a good school.
If you are sure you would be happy there, then I suppose safeties aren’t a big deal.
One safety that you know you can afford and you know you will be very happy at is really all it takes.</p>

<p>I’ve been accepted in Rutgers Business, thank god. I just got my December results and have a superscored act of 30. I hope this helps! :)</p>

<p>You have a very solid application, you seem very well rounded and have a great gpa/rank. I think you are definitely in to at least one of these schools (especially being a legacy at Villanova)! Good luck with everything</p>
