<p>bump</p>

<p>oh to add to this, i have more match schools but i was just wondering about some of the reach schools above</p>

<p>Do you really think a 3.4 UW GPA is going to get you into Cornell? Pretty unlikely, I'd say. It's your call, but personally I'd use that ED someplace else where you have a better chance.</p>

<p>As far as stats:
Cornell ED--3.83 UW GPA and SATs around 680/710/685 (2075)
NYU--3.6 UW GPA and SATs of 658/660/670 (1988)
BC--around 3.67 UW GPA and SATs of 650/667/670 (1987)
UNC--weighted GPA of 4.19 (around 3.88 unweighted?) and SATs of 638/649/655 (1942)
U. Michigan--average UW GPA 3.72 and SATs of 630/675/650 (1955)
U. Maryland: College Park--average W GPA 3.85 (UW 3.65?) and SATs of 605/645/640 (1890)
Penn State: University Park--UW GPA 3.56 and SATs of 593/617/615 (1825)
SUNY Binghamton--UW GPA 3.6 and SATs of 607/643/640 (1890)</p>

<p>You are UW GPA 3.4, W GPA 3.6 with SATs of around 1900 to 1950, so:
Cornell ED--reach
NYU--reach
BC--reach
UNC--reach (OOS)
U. Michigan--reach (OOS)
U. Maryland: College Park--slight reach to reach (OOS)
Penn State: University Park--slight reach
SUNY Binghamton--slight reach</p>

<p>looking at calcruzer's post, it's time to start researching matches/safeties. Cornell is a great dream school, but you need to start finding some other schools you love real fast.</p>

<p>yeah that was what i was expecting</p>

<p>i dont really think penn state, maryland, and especially binghamton are reaches</p>

<p>comparing with kids who have gone there from my school of course</p>

<p>any matches i should be looking at?</p>

<p>Might want to look at Holy Cross top 30 Liberal Arts School-1 hour from Boston. HC is SAT optional and has a very strong alumni network.</p>

<p>i wasn't really thinking about going to a strong liberal arts school, but thanks for the input</p>

<p>ahh what are some good matches for me in business?</p>
