<p>You’re a strong candidate, and the Crew should help, but those are tough schools (especially if you’re applying to Stern at NYU - the Arts & Sciences College would be a very solid match for you). Are you content with UMass as a safety? If you have the financial resources, you might want to add one or two more matches (e.g. Tulane, Fordham, American, et al).</p>
