<p>Looks damn good to me! Your colleges seem like an easy match, so why not apply to even more selective ones? REACH FOR THE STARS.</p>

<p>Agreed, your chances at these schools are great (bar NYU since it accepts and rejects applicants fairly erratically).
You have a decent shot at BC, too.</p>

<p>Thank you guys! As I said, my main fear was my less-than-stellar GPA. It’s all because I didn’t have a great freshman year. Anyways, I really appreciate it!</p>

<p>Villanova: Safety
American: Low match
NYU: Match (pretty erratic school as mentioned earlier)
BC: High match</p>

<p>I honestly had no idea I had such a good shot…really, thank you, this helped me boost my self-confidence my college choices so much. Thank you so much :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Also, I just realized I put AP English Lit twice with two different scores, I don’t know how that happened…I got a 4 hahaha</p>

<p>I see you have some interest in catholic colleges, if not NYU why not look into Fordham?</p>

<p>I am actually applying to Fordham, it’s funny you mention it! I’m visiting there soon.</p>

<p>Fordham is a safety for you. If you had the choice between attending Fordham and Villanova, what would you choose?</p>

<p>Most likely Villanova.</p>

<p>I’m applying to about 10 schools but these just happen to be my top four choices.</p>

<p>Any other opinions?</p>

<p>I believe you have an excellent shot at all these schools.</p>

<p>Villanova - Match
NYU - match
BC - match
American - safety</p>
