<p>i’d like to hear about my chances in above universities also… thank you in advnace =]</p>

<p>your GPA seems to be in the 3.5 range and ur sat is too low to really be compeittive for alot of your schools. UNC, EMory, U Mich, Gtown, Wash u, Berkeley seem to be out of the picture. Rochester and NYU and Madision are probably your best shots</p>

<p>thank you very much flong ! =] well.. at least you said NYU is one of my best shots. Nothing else will matter as long as i get into NYU</p>
