<p>Your crew accomplishment and GPA can get you into most of the schools on your list. It remains to be seen if Wash U accepts you, even with your legacy connection. Georgetown is a tough call, even with lots of applicants that have better scores than you. Do you plan to do Crew in college? If so, several of these schools will be hot on your tail. I wouldn’t be surprised either, if you got in to ALL the schools on your list, particularly if you re-take the SAT and get a 2100.</p>

<p>Your connection at WashU probably will not help you very much. The school wants money, end of story. A nice note from a person with money means nothing to them.</p>

<p>Your SAT scores are a little low for WashU, Georgetown and Tufts.</p>

<p>I think you have excellent chances at BU and Fordham. Some others to possibly check into are NYU, American and GWU.</p>
