<p>Definately try to bring those sats up. NYU and Lehigh are matches. PSU is a safety, and UVA is a low reach since your out od state. Penn will be a high reach. Good luck</p>

3

<p>hmm how much would an extra 100 points on the SATs help me out for penn? thanks.</p>

4

<p>um, assuming you raise your sats to 1420+, then NYU and Lehigh would we be safe matches, UVA a match, but Penn would still be a high reach since admissions are a crapshoot.</p>

<p>yea... penn will be tough. thats why i figured ED would be the best choice there. would the fact that my grandfather went there have any influence on admissions?</p>
