<p>For now, I'm interested in colleges like NYU, Villanova, Babson, USC, UMich, BC, Tufts, Georgetown, etc. How are my stats in comparison to what they want? If i don't have a chance at those...what DO i have a chance at?</p>

<p>Georgetown is a huge reach. The others, you'd have a solid chance. This is a good list. I say stick with it.</p>

3

<p>yeah i should probably clarify that im applying for the business schools for all the colleges i mentioned, and that im thinking of either EDing NYU or UPenn Wharton or EAing Georgetown McDonough</p>
