<p>Your URM status and good ECs will help you a bit at many of these schools:
Northeastern--Match
Villanova--Slight Reach (even with your brother there, sorry)
Boston University--Match
Boston College--Reach
George Washington--Slight Reach
Hofstra--Match
Loyola Md --Match
St.Joes. in PA--Safe Match to Match</p>

<p>Your odds would go up at Villanova, Boston University, and St. Joes of PA if you were going to run track at any of these.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>P.S. I notice you actually picked schools with good business schools. Great job in researching schools that will be a good match for your major. Also, of the schools on your list where I expect you to get in, I'd say that Boston University or Loyola is probably where you would be happiest--and the ones with the strongest marketing programs (besides Nova and BC, where I don't expect you to be accepted). Definitely apply to Nova, though, because they may give you a break with your brother already there.</p>
