<p>We have pretty similar stats and are applying to pretty similar schools (well, Fordham is the only one we have in common, but they’re along the same lines). Of course, I haven’t received decisions yet, so I’ll be optimistic for both of us.</p>
<p>You’re in at all. GW might take a second look, but I don’t think you have much to worry about.</p>
<p>GW - High Match / Low Reach
BU - Match
Northeastern - Low Match / Match
Fordham - High Match
American - High Match
You’ve picked schools that really match your stats; none of these are really reaches, you might consider applying to some slightly harder schools (NYU, Hamilton, Connecticut College). Best of luck!</p>
<p>Your SAT’s are great for these schools, transcript is rigorous, GPA is excellent, work experience def helps, and EC’s are pretty solid. Here are my chances:</p>
