<p>Thanks! I'm thinking about crossing John Hopkins off anyway because I doubt i'll go visit. I'm not sure about Carnegie Mellon either. I'll keep USC on there just because that's my #1 choice even though it's a major reach. Any suggestions?</p>

7

<p>i bet northeastern would be a safety for you...</p>

8

<p>Thanks, that's good to know. Anyone have any suggestions for any other schools? Also, what kind of chance do you think I have at USC even though it is a reach and what can i do to improve my chances?</p>

<p>Northeastern has a massive applicant pool (27,100 apps for 2800 spots). Also, based on what I saw on another thread on this board, it appears that Northeastern just moved up 17 spots in the rankings. If the improvement turns out to be accurate, you can bet that admission to Northeastern for the fall 2007 class will be even more selective than 2006. Accordingly, Northeastern is no saftey.</p>

<p>Well Northeastern really isn't my first choice but thanks for the info it really helped. Also, what could i do to improve chances at USC?</p>

11

<p>I bet youd love BU. I'm freakin excited. I live in PA so I dont get to see my sox too often. Season tix....damn... ;)</p>

12

<p>Maybe, but I live here so i'm kind of sick of it lol. Not that I don't love the sox because i do haha. It's prob. the school that i would go to if i didn't get into USC or Pepperdine if i got in.</p>
