Thanks!</p>

<p>I forgot to put Barnard in my title, but it’s my top choice.</p>

<p>for barnard your scores are just below their average, but you have good extracurriculars. also it looks like your course load is strong and u could handle it fine.
you should get into fordham and rutgers, but nyu will be about as tough as barnard.
colgate and vassar you have a chance. dont know about the rest</p>

<p>your numbers are a little low, but if you can make the rest of your application stand out a lot and have a stellar essay you’ve got a shot.</p>
